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 RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 12.0.0 through 12.2.0, Pillow's EPS parser in PIL/EpsImagePlugin.py accepts a negative byte count in the %%BeginBinary directive, allowing a crafted EPS file to cause Image.open() to seek backwards to the same directive and parse it repeatedly in an infinite loop. This issue is fixed in version 12.3.0.
