critical Nessus Plugin ID 168046

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202211-10 (Pillow: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

- The package pillow 5.2.0 and before 8.3.2 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the getrgb function. (CVE-2021-23437)

- Pillow through 8.2.0 and PIL (aka Python Imaging Library) through 1.1.7 allow an attacker to pass controlled parameters directly into a convert function to trigger a buffer overflow in Convert.c.
(CVE-2021-34552)

- path_getbbox in path.c in Pillow before 9.0.0 improperly initializes ImagePath.Path. (CVE-2022-22815)

- path_getbbox in path.c in Pillow before 9.0.0 has a buffer over-read during initialization of ImagePath.Path. (CVE-2022-22816)

- PIL.ImageMath.eval in Pillow before 9.0.0 allows evaluation of arbitrary expressions, such as ones that use the Python exec method. A lambda expression could also be used, (CVE-2022-22817)

- Pillow before 9.0.1 allows attackers to delete files because spaces in temporary pathnames are mishandled.
(CVE-2022-24303)

- Pillow before 9.2.0 performs Improper Handling of Highly Compressed GIF Data (Data Amplification).
(CVE-2022-45198)

- Pillow before 9.3.0 allows denial of service via SAMPLESPERPIXEL. (CVE-2022-45199)

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-9.3.0
