Description

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

 - An issue was discovered in Pillow before 8.2.0. For EPS data, the readline implementation used in
 EPSImageFile has to deal with any combination of \r and \n as line endings. It used an accidentally
 quadratic method of accumulating lines while looking for a line ending. A malicious EPS file could use
 this to perform a DoS of Pillow in the open phase, before an image was accepted for opening.
