Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202405-12 (Pillow: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

- An issue was discovered in Pillow before 10.0.0. It is a Denial of Service that uncontrollably allocates memory to process a given task, potentially causing a service to crash by having it run out of memory.
This occurs for truetype in ImageFont when textlength in an ImageDraw instance operates on a long text argument. (CVE-2023-44271)

- Pillow through 10.1.0 allows PIL.ImageMath.eval Arbitrary Code Execution via the environment parameter, a different vulnerability than CVE-2022-22817 (which was about the expression parameter). (CVE-2023-50447)

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

Solution

All Pillow users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose >=dev-python/pillow-10.2.0
