PYSEC-2021-40

Quick fix

PYSEC-2021-40 — pillow: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'pillow>=8.1.1'

Details

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 a BLP container, and thus an attempted memory allocation can be very large.
