The version of python-pillow installed on the remote host is prior to 2.0.0-23.gitd1c6db8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2083 advisory.

    Pillow before 2.7.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a compressed text chunk in a     PNG image that has a large size when it is decompressed. (CVE-2014-9601)

    Pillow before 3.3.2 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code by using the crafted     image file approach, related to an Insecure Sign Extension issue affecting the ImagingNew in Storage.c     component. (CVE-2016-9190)

    In Pillow before 8.1.0, PcxDecode has a buffer over-read when decoding a crafted PCX file because the     user-supplied stride value is trusted for buffer calculations. (CVE-2020-35653)

    An issue was discovered in Pillow before 8.2.0. For FLI data, FliDecode did not properly check that the     block advance was non-zero, potentially leading to an infinite loop on load. (CVE-2021-28676)

    An issue was discovered in Pillow before 8.2.0. For EPS data, the readline implementation used in     EPSImageFile has to deal with any combination of \r and \n as line endings. It used an accidentally     quadratic method of accumulating lines while looking for a line ending. A malicious EPS file could use     this to perform a DoS of Pillow in the open phase, before an image was accepted for opening.
    (CVE-2021-28677)

    Pillow through 8.2.0 and PIL (aka Python Imaging Library) through 1.1.7 allow an attacker to pass     controlled parameters directly into a convert function to trigger a buffer overflow in Convert.c.
    (CVE-2021-34552)

python-pillow was updated to 2.7.0 to fix security issues and bugs.

The following vulnerabilities were fixed :

  - CVE-2014-9601: Remote attackers could cause a denial of     service via a compressed text chunk in a PNG image that     has a large size when it is decompressed.

  - CVE-2014-3598: Remote attackers could cause a denial of     service using specially crafted image files via     Jpeg2KImagePlugin

  - CVE-2014-3589: Remote attackers could cause a denial of     service using specially crafted image files via     IcnsImagePlugin

Updated python-imaging packages fix security vulnerabilities :

Jakub Wilk discovered that temporary files were insecurely created (via mktemp()) in the IptcImagePlugin.py, Image.py, JpegImagePlugin.py, and EpsImagePlugin.py files of Python Imaging Library. A local attacker could use this flaw to perform a symbolic link attack to modify an arbitrary file accessible to the user running an application that uses the Python Imaging Library (CVE-2014-1932).

Jakub Wilk discovered that temporary files created in the JpegImagePlugin.py and EpsImagePlugin.py files of the Python Imaging Library were passed to an external process. These could be viewed on the command line, allowing an attacker to obtain the name and possibly perform symbolic link attacks, allowing them to modify an arbitrary file accessible to the user running an application that uses the Python Imaging Library (CVE-2014-1933).

The Python Imaging Library is vulnerable to a denial of service attack in the IcnsImagePlugin (CVE-2014-3589).

Python Image Library (PIL) 1.1.7 and earlier and Pillow 2.3 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters, due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-1932 (CVE-2014-3007).

Pillow before 2.7.0 and 2.6.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a compressed text chunk in a PNG image that has a large size when it is decompressed (CVE-2014-9601).

This update fixes a potential denial-of-service during PNG decompression.
