Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2021-03-04 19:48:46 UTC

Pillow before 8.1.2 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) because the reported size of a contained image is not properly checked for an ICNS container, and thus an attempted memory allocation can be very large.
