NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-pillow-tk-debuginfo package and not the python3-pillow-tk-debuginfo package as distributed by Rocky-Linux. See How to fix? for Rocky-Linux:8 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.
