NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python313-Pillow package and not the python313-Pillow package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:16.0.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
