Machine-written summary

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

Pillow versions from 8.2.0 before 13.0.0 have a flaw in the libImaging tiled-TIFF decoder, where a row-copy routine can read past the end of a per-tile buffer when libtiff reports a smaller tile size than expected. An attacker who can get a Pillow-using application to decode a crafted TIFF file could crash the process and may copy adjacent heap memory into the decoded image. The fix is in Pillow 13.0.0, so upgrade to that version or later.
