patch available.

  - Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 13.0.0, Pillow's ImageMorph.MorphOp.apply() can access memory
    before a row buffer for a zero-width image. PPM and PGM input can create an image with width zero, and the
    native morphology routine indexes outrow[width - 1] without rejecting that geometry. An attacker can
    supply such an image to an application that applies a morphology operation. This can crash the process.
    This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0. (CVE-2026-112397)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
