Debian DLA-2893-1 : pillow - LTS security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 156963

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2893 advisory.

- path_getbbox in path.c in Pillow before 9.0.0 improperly initializes ImagePath.Path. (CVE-2022-22815)

- path_getbbox in path.c in Pillow before 9.0.0 has a buffer over-read during initialization of ImagePath.Path. (CVE-2022-22816)

- PIL.ImageMath.eval in Pillow before 9.0.0 allows evaluation of arbitrary expressions, such as ones that use the Python exec method. (CVE-2022-22817)

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

Solution

Upgrade the pillow packages.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.0-4+deb9u4.
