CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Pillow Python imaging library prior to version 12.3.0 is vulnerable to a denial-of-service condition due to improper handling of font files, which can lead to excessive memory allocation during image processing. This flaw could be exploited to crash applications using the library or exhaust system resources. Developers and organizations utilizing Pillow for image manipulation should prioritize upgrading to version 12.3.0 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 12.3.0, PIL/FontFile.py FontFile.compile() assembled per-glyph images into a combined bitmap with Image.new("1", (xsize, ysize)) without calling Image._decompression_bomb_check(), allowing a font to trigger excessive allocation during conversion or saving. This issue is fixed in version 12.3.0.
