Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Pillow versions before 13.0.0 can crash when a morphology operation is applied to a zero-width PPM or PGM image, because the native code writes outside its row buffer. An attacker who can supply an image file to an application that runs ImageMorph.MorphOp.apply() on it can cause a crash and possibly memory corruption. The fix is to upgrade to Pillow 13.0.0 or later.
