How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 python-pillow-sane.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-pillow-sane package and not the python-pillow-sane package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Pillow before 8.1.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) because the reported size of a contained image is not properly checked for an ICNS container, and thus an attempted memory allocation can be very large.
