NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream py3-pillow package and not the py3-pillow package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.15 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in Pillow before 8.2.0. For BLP data, BlpImagePlugin did not properly check that reads (after jumping to file offsets) returned data. This could lead to a DoS where the decoder could be run a large number of times on empty data.
