CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Pillow Python imaging library prior to version 12.3.0 is vulnerable due to improper handling of image dimensions in GD 2.x files, potentially leading to excessive C-heap allocation and denial of service. This flaw can be exploited by attackers using crafted .gd files, making it critical for developers and organizations utilizing Pillow for image processing to prioritize upgrading to version 12.3.0 or later to mitigate the risk.

Original NVD Description
Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 12.3.0, PIL/GdImageFile.py GdImageFile._open() read image dimensions from the GD 2.x header and stored them in self._size without calling Image._decompression_bomb_check(), allowing a crafted .gd file to trigger excessive C-heap allocation when loaded. This issue is fixed in version 12.3.0.
