CVE-2016-2533

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Pillow versions prior to 3.1.1 Python Imaging Library (PIL) version 1.1.7 and earlier

Description The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the ImagingPcdDecode function, which can be triggered by a crafted PhotoCD file, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash).

Recommendations For Pillow versions prior to 3.1.1, update to version 3.1.1 or later to resolve the issue. For Python Imaging Library (PIL) version 1.1.7 and earlier, update to a version later than 1.1.7 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the use of the ImagingPcdDecode function in PcdDecode.c until a patch is available.
