    It was discovered that Pillow incorrectly handled large glyph advance values in fonts. An attacker could
    possibly use this issue to cause Pillow to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-42308)

    It was discovered that Pillow incorrectly handled nested coordinate lists in certain APIs. An attacker
    could possibly use this issue to cause Pillow to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only
    affected Ubuntu 25.10 and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-42309)

    It was discovered that Pillow incorrectly handled certain malformed PDF files. An attacker could possibly
    use this issue to cause Pillow to use excessive resources, leading to a denial of service.
    (CVE-2026-42310)

    It was discovered that Pillow incorrectly handled certain malformed PSD files. An attacker could possibly
    use this issue to cause Pillow to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or to execute arbitrary code.
    This issue only affected Ubuntu 25.10 and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-42311)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
