Amazon Linux 2 : python-pillow (ALAS-2020-1542)

high Nessus Plugin ID 141964

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of python-pillow installed on the remote host is prior to 2.0.0-21.gitd1c6db8. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1542 advisory.

 An out-of-bounds read was discovered in python-pillow in the way it decodes FLI images. An application that uses python-pillow to load untrusted images may be vulnerable to this flaw, which can allow an attacker to read the memory of the application they should be not allowed to read. (CVE-2020-5313)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Run 'yum update python-pillow' to update your system.
