SCA: security update for Pillow (GHSA-g7cr-3p24-7wf7)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 476842

Description

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

 - Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 9.4.0 until 13.0.0, ImagingJpegEncode() in
 src/libImaging/JpegEncode.c can call jpeg_write_marker() for a JPEG COM comment when an ICC profile has
 exactly filled the 65536-byte encoder buffer. libjpeg writes one byte before checking the exhausted
 free_in_buffer counter, which then wraps and permits the attacker-controlled comment and subsequent
 compressed image data to overwrite adjacent heap memory. Re-saving an untrusted image as JPEG while
 preserving its ICC profile and forwarded comment can crash the process and may enable code execution in
 suitable runtime and heap layouts. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0. (CVE-2026-96778)

Solution

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