The Centos security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Centos:7.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-pillow-doc package and not the python-pillow-doc package as distributed by Centos.
Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 5.1.0 until 12.3.0, PdfParser.PdfStream.decode() in PIL/PdfParser.py calls zlib.decompress() with bufsize set to the PDF stream Length field without bounding the decompressed output size, allowing a crafted FlateDecode PDF stream to exhaust memory from a small file. This issue is fixed in version 12.3.0.
