Descriptions

Pillow before 3.3.2 allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information by using the "crafted image file" approach, related to an "Integer Overflow" issue affecting the Image.core.map_buffer in map.c component.

Pillow en versiones anteriores a 3.3.2 permite a atacantes dependientes de contexto obtener información sensible utilizando la aproximación "archivo de imagen manipulado", relacionado con un problema "Integer Overflow" que afecta a Image.core.map_buffer en el componente map.c.

It was discovered that the Python Imaging Library incorrectly handled certain compressed text chunks in PNG images. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the Python Imaging Library to crash, resulting in a denial of service. Cris Neckar discovered that the Python Imaging Library incorrectly handled certain malformed images.
