PIL/IcnsImagePlugin.py in Python Imaging Library (PIL) and Pillow before 2.3.2 and 2.5.x before 2.5.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted block size.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - PIL/IcnsImagePlugin.py in Python Imaging Library (PIL) and Pillow before 2.3.2 and 2.5.x before 2.5.2
    allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted block size. (CVE-2014-3589)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - PIL/IcnsImagePlugin.py in Python Imaging Library (PIL) and Pillow before 2.3.2 and 2.5.x before 2.5.2     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted block size. (CVE-2014-3589)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The version of python-pillow installed on the remote host is prior to 2.0.0-23.gitd1c6db8. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-2768 advisory.

    PIL/IcnsImagePlugin.py in Python Imaging Library (PIL) and Pillow before 2.3.2 and 2.5.x before 2.5.2     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted block size. (CVE-2014-3589)

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.

According to the versions of the python-pillow package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Integer overflow in the ImagingResampleHorizontal     function in libImaging/Resample.c in Pillow before     3.1.1 allows remote attackers to have unspecified     impact via negative values of the new size, which     triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.(CVE-2016-4009)

  - An issue was discovered in urllib2 in Python 2.x     through 2.7.17 and urllib in Python 3.x through 3.8.0.
    CRLF injection is possible if the attacker controls a     url parameter, as demonstrated by the first argument to     urllib.request.urlopen with \r\n (specifically in the     host component of a URL) followed by an HTTP header.
    This is similar to the CVE-2019-9740 query string issue     and the CVE-2019-9947 path string issue. (This is not     exploitable when glibc has CVE-2016-10739     fixed.)(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 in unspecified     vectors related to CVE-2014-1932, possibly     JpegImagePlugin.py.(CVE-2014-3007)

  - The documentation XML-RPC server in Python through     2.7.16, 3.x through 3.6.9, and 3.7.x through 3.7.4 has     XSS via the server_title field. This occurs in     Lib/DocXMLRPCServer.py in Python 2.x, and in     Lib/xmlrpc/server.py in Python 3.x. If set_server_title     is called with untrusted input, arbitrary JavaScript     can be delivered to clients that visit the http URL for     this server.(CVE-2014-1933)

  - Directory traversal vulnerability in the (1) extract     and (2) extractall functions in the tarfile module in     Python allows user-assisted remote attackers to     overwrite arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) sequence     in filenames in a TAR archive, a related issue to     CVE-2001-1267.(CVE-2014-1932)

  - An issue was discovered in Pillow before 6.2.0. When     reading specially crafted invalid image files, the     library can either allocate very large amounts of     memory or take an extremely long period of time to     process the image.(CVE-2019-16865)

  - libImaging/FliDecode.c in Pillow before 6.2.2 has an     FLI buffer overflow.(CVE-2020-5313)

  - libImaging/PcxDecode.c in Pillow before 6.2.2 has a PCX     P mode buffer overflow.(CVE-2020-5312)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3090-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that a flaw in processing a compressed text chunk in a PNG image could cause the image     to have a large size when decompressed, potentially leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2014-9601)

    Andrew Drake discovered that Pillow incorrectly validated input. A remote attacker could use this to cause     Pillow to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-3589)

    Eric Soroos discovered that Pillow incorrectly handled certain malformed FLI, Tiff, and PhotoCD files. A     remote attacker could use this issue to cause Pillow to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

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).

Andrew Drake discovered that missing input sanitising in the icns decoder of the Python Imaging Library could result in denial of service if a malformed image is processed.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates :

  - PIL/IcnsImagePlugin.py in Python Imaging Library (PIL)     and Pillow before 2.3.2 and 2.5.x before 2.5.2 allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a     crafted block size. (CVE-2014-3589)

Updated python-imaging packages fix security vulnerability :

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