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 ALAS2-2024-2413 advisory.

    Pillow before 3.3.2 allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information by using the     crafted image file approach, related to an Integer Overflow issue affecting the Image.core.map_buffer     in map.c component. (CVE-2016-9189)

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.

Cris Neckar discovered multiple vulnerabilities in Pillow, a Python imaging library, which may result in the execution of arbitrary code or information disclosure if a malformed image file is processed.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3230-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Pillow incorrectly handled certain compressed text chunks in PNG images. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Pillow to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This     issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-9601)

    Cris Neckar discovered that Pillow incorrectly handled certain malformed images. A remote attacker could     use this issue to cause Pillow to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly obtain sensitive     information. (CVE-2016-9189)

    Cris Neckar discovered that Pillow incorrectly handled certain malformed images. A remote attacker could     use this issue to cause Pillow to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2016-9190)

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

  - Pillow before 3.3.2 allows context-dependent attackers     to obtain sensitive information by using the 'crafted     image file' approach, related to an 'Integer Overflow'     issue affecting the Image.core.map_buffer in map.c     component.(CVE-2016-9189)

  - Buffer overflow in the ImagingPcdDecode function in     PcdDecode.c in Pillow before 3.1.1 and Python Imaging     Library (PIL) 1.1.7 and earlier allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted     PhotoCD file.(CVE-2016-2533)

  - Buffer overflow in the ImagingFliDecode function in     libImaging/FliDecode.c in Pillow before 3.1.1 allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)     via a crafted FLI file.(CVE-2016-0775)

  - Buffer overflow in the ImagingLibTiffDecode function in     libImaging/TiffDecode.c in Pillow before 3.1.1 allows     remote attackers to overwrite memory via a crafted TIFF     file.(CVE-2016-0740)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - 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 (1) JpegImagePlugin.py and (2) EpsImagePlugin.py     scripts in Python Image Library (PIL) 1.1.7 and earlier     and Pillow before 2.3.1 uses the names of temporary     files on the command line, which makes it easier for     local users to conduct symlink attacks by listing the     processes.(CVE-2014-1933)

  - The (1) load_djpeg function in JpegImagePlugin.py, (2)     Ghostscript function in EpsImagePlugin.py, (3) load     function in IptcImagePlugin.py, and (4) _copy function     in Image.py in Python Image Library (PIL) 1.1.7 and     earlier and Pillow before 2.3.1 do not properly create     temporary files, which allow local users to overwrite     arbitrary files and obtain sensitive information via a     symlink attack on the temporary file.(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)

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 :

  - A memory disclosure vulnerability was found in     python-pillow. Functions in map.c failed to check for     image overflow and check that an offset parameter was     within bounds, allowing a crafted image to cause a     crash or disclosure of memory.(CVE-2016-9189)

  - Buffer overflow in the ImagingPcdDecode function in     PcdDecode.c in Pillow before 3.1.1 and Python Imaging     Library (PIL) 1.1.7 and earlier allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted     PhotoCD file.(CVE-2016-2533)

  - Buffer overflow in the ImagingFliDecode function in     libImaging/FliDecode.c in Pillow before 3.1.1 allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)     via a crafted FLI file.(CVE-2016-0775)

  - Buffer overflow in the ImagingLibTiffDecode function in     libImaging/TiffDecode.c in Pillow before 3.1.1 allows     remote attackers to overwrite memory via a crafted TIFF     file.(CVE-2016-0740)

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

  - Pillow before 3.3.2 allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information by using the     crafted image file approach, related to an Integer Overflow issue affecting the Image.core.map_buffer     in map.c component. (CVE-2016-9189)

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

Pillow reports :

Pillow prior to 3.3.2 may experience integer overflow errors in map.c when reading specially crafted image files. This may lead to memory disclosure or corruption.

Pillow prior to 3.3.2 and PIL 1.1.7 (at least) do not check for negative image sizes in ImagingNew in Storage.c. A negative image size can lead to a smaller allocation than expected, leading to arbi trary writes.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201612-52 (Pillow: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Pillow. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A local attacker could perform symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary       files with the privileges of the user running the application, or obtain       sensitive information.
    A remote attackers could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of       the process, or cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
