    Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Pillow, an image processing     library for Python.

    CVE-2021-23437

       The getrgb function is susceptible to a ReDoS.

    CVE-2022-24303

       A possible path traversal vulnerability allows attackers to delete        files.

    CVE-2022-45198

       An improper handling of highly compressed GIF data can lead to a        decompression bomb.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     8.1.2+dfsg-0.3+deb11u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your pillow packages.

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

  - 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)

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)
