Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Pillow versions before 10.3.0 are vulnerable to a buffer overflow in _imagingcms.c, where strcpy is used instead of strncpy. The source gives few details about how an attacker would trigger it or what they could achieve. Upgrade to Pillow 10.3.0 or later.
