SCA: security update for pillow (GHSA-j4m9-6w36-pw47)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 476581

Description

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

 - Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 10.0.0 until 13.0.0, Pillow can free an invalid glyph pointer
 during FreeType rendering with an active stroker. If FT_Load_Glyph fails, cleanup may call FT_Done_Glyph
 on an uninitialized or stale glyph variable. An attacker can supply a malformed font as untrusted bytes to
 an application that draws text with a nonzero stroke width, forcing the glyph-load failure path. This can
 corrupt memory or crash the process. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0. (CVE-2026-112893)

Solution

Update the pillow library and its related packages to version 13.0.0 or later.
