"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 13.0.0 on Windows, src/PIL/WmfImagePlugin.py passes unchecked
32-bit WMF or EMF dimensions to the native drawwmf handler in src/display.c. The handler sizes a DIB
allocation from 16-bit-truncated bcWidth and bcHeight fields but copies pixel data using the original full
dimensions. A crafted wide, short metafile can pass the pixel-count decompression-bomb check and make the
Windows-only renderer read beyond the heap buffer, potentially disclosing memory or crashing the process.
This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0. (CVE-2026-96644)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
