GHSA-c6hw-5grf-ff96: pillow (CVE-2026-112404)

Package	Ecosystem	Affected	Fixed in
pillow	PyPI	>=8.1.0, <13.0.0	13.0.0

Machine-written summary

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

Pillow versions from 8.1.0 before 13.0.0 are affected, and the fix is in 13.0.0. A crafted TIFF with duplicated or malformed photometric or bits-per-sample tags makes the tile and RGBA decode paths read past a heap buffer and copy those bytes into the returned image pixels. An attacker who can get an application to open and load such a file, such as through an upload service, can obtain fragments of process heap memory, or crash the process. Upgrade to Pillow 13.0.0 or later.
