  - Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 5.4.0 until 13.0.0, Pillow performs quadratic copying while
    parsing GIF comments. GifImageFile._seek() repeatedly appends immutable bytes for comment sub-blocks and
    multiple comment extensions, and frame zero is parsed during Image.open(). An attacker can submit a small-
    dimension GIF containing many comment extensions to any application that opens the file. This can consume
    excessive CPU and deny service before the application can inspect the image. This issue is fixed in
    version 13.0.0. (CVE-2026-112401)

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