Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 : Pillow vulnerability (USN-6744-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 193701

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6744-1 advisory.

 Hugo van Kemenade discovered that Pillow was not properly performing

 bounds checks when processing an ICC file, which could lead to a buffer overflow. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a

 specially crafted ICC file, an attacker could possibly use this issue

 to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu 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

Update the affected packages.
