  - Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 13.0.0, Pillow's P;2L and P;4L raw decoders can read past the
    end of an input buffer. ImagingRawDecode calculates a packed-pixel row size, while the unpackers read
    separately padded bit planes. A caller can supply a buffer and image dimensions whose accepted size is
    smaller than the unpacker's actual footprint. This can disclose up to three adjacent heap bytes in output
    pixels or crash the process. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0. (CVE-2026-112394)
