"The detected version of the Pillow Python package, Pillow, is 11.2.x prior to 11.3.0. It is,
therefore, affected by a write buffer overflow vulnerability. There is a heap buffer overflow 
when writing a sufficiently large (>64k encoded with default settings) image in the DDS format 
due to writing into a buffer without checking for available space. This only affects users 
who save untrusted data as a compressed DDS image.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
