Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Pillow versions before 13.0.0 crash when a median, minimum, maximum or rank filter is applied to an image with zero width or zero height; the crash is a NULL pointer dereference in ImagingExpand, which kills the whole Python process with SIGSEGV instead of raising an error. An attacker who can supply crop coordinates (such as a box with equal left and right edges) or an uploaded multi-page TIFF to an application running these filters can kill its worker process, with no memory disclosure or corruption. Upgrade to Pillow 13.0.0 or later, which fixes the issue.
