Description

A flaw was found in Pillow, a Python imaging library. A remote attacker could exploit a vulnerability in the library's image processing functions, specifically when handling image coordinates near certain limits.

Statement

The impact is limited to denial of service. While the underlying issue is a heap out-of-bounds write, it does not provide a controlled write primitive exploitable for code execution in affected Red Hat products.
