    CVE ID         : CVE-2021-23437 CVE-2022-24303 CVE-2022-45198

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Pillow, an image processing
    library for Python.

    CVE-2021-23437

       The getrgb function is susceptible to a ReDoS.

    CVE-2022-24303

       A possible path traversal vulnerability allows attackers to delete
       files.

    CVE-2022-45198

       An improper handling of highly compressed GIF data can lead to a
       decompression bomb.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    8.1.2+dfsg-0.3+deb11u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your pillow packages.
