"The version of python-pillow installed on the remote host is prior to 2.0.0-23.gitd1c6db8. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-3839 advisory.
Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 12.3.0, when Pillow loads an uncompressed McIdas AREA image
from a filename through the mmap raw codec path, attacker-controlled header words can set a row stride
smaller than the natural row width, causing pixel access such as Image.tobytes(), getpixel, convert, or
save to read beyond the mapped region and disclose adjacent process memory or fault. This issue is fixed
in version 12.3.0. (CVE-2026-54058)
Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 12.3.0, Pillow's public rank-filter API can trigger a native
heap out-of-bounds write when given a very large odd filter size because ImageFilter.RankFilter.filter()
calls image.expand(size // 2, size // 2) before rank-filter size validation and ImagingExpand() computes
output dimensions with unchecked signed int arithmetic. This issue is fixed in version 12.3.0.
(CVE-2026-59197)
Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 12.3.0, Pillow public image coordinate APIs can trigger a
native heap out-of-bounds write when given coordinates near the signed 32-bit integer limits in
Image.paste(), Image.crop(), or Image.alpha_composite(). This issue is fixed in version 12.3.0.
(CVE-2026-59199)
Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 12.3.0, Pillow's ImageCms.ImageCmsTransform.apply(im, imOut)
API can trigger controlled native heap corruption when the caller supplies an output image whose mode does
not match the transform's declared output mode. This issue is fixed in version 12.3.0. (CVE-2026-59205)
