Description
A high-severity out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the Pillow Python imaging library versions 2.3.0 through 12.3.0. This flaw occurs when saving compressed TIFF images using libtiff, allowing attacker-controlled image geometry tags to cause libtiff to consume larger scanlines than the allocated buffer. This can lead to heap memory disclosure, process crashes, or memory corruption. The issue is resolved in Pillow version 13.0.0.
