Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 8.1.0 until 13.0.0, Pillow's TIFF tile and RGBA decode paths can read beyond row data produced by libtiff. In _decodeTile and the RGBA unpacker path, when Pillow and libtiff interpret duplicated PhotometricInterpretation or BitsPerSample tags differently, Pillow does not verify that the required input row fits inside the row libtiff produced, while the strip path has this validation. Loading pixels from such a crafted TIFF can expose adjacent heap data in output pixels or crash the process. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0.

A flaw was found in Pillow. When processing Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) images, the library fails to properly validate buffer boundaries during tile and color decoding routines. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by supplying a specially crafted TIFF file with conflicting metadata tags, causing an out-of-bounds read. Successful exploitation can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing the application, or result in information disclosure by exposing adjacent heap memory in the output image.

The highest-value action is to block untrusted TIFF ingestion or ensure row size validation between unpackers and libtiff buffers in Pillow decoding workflows: upgrade to Pillow 13.0.0 (or the fixed Python Pillow/Python3.11 Pillow/Rhoai/Odh Openvino Model Server Rhel/Rhelai3/Bootc Cuda Rhel/Rhelai3/Bootc Gaudi Rhel/Rhelai3/Bootc Rocm Rhel/Rhelai3/Disk Image Cuda Rhel/Python3X Pillow/Rhaiis/Vllm Spyre Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Kserve Storage Initializer Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Kserve Agent Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Kserve Controller Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Kserve Router Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Feature Server Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Trustyai Nemo Guardrails Server Rhel/Rhaiis/Vllm Tpu Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Training Cuda128 Torch29 Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Training Rocm64 Torch29 Py312 Rhel/Rhaiis/Vllm Cpu Rhel/Rhaiis/Vllm Neuron Rhel/Ansible Automation Platform 25/Lightspeed Chatbot Rhel/Openshift Lightspeed/Lightspeed Ocp Rag Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Th06 Cpu Torch291 Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Th06 Cuda130 Torch291 Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Vllm Gaudi Rhel/Python3.12 Pillow/Rhaii/Vllm Gaudi Rhel/Rhaii/Vllm Neuron Rhel/Rhaii/Vllm Tpu Rhel/Lightspeed Core/Lightspeed Stack Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Kserve Autogluon Server Rhel/Rhai Early Access/Docling Sdk Cuda Rhel/Rhai Early Access/Docling Serve Cuda Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Llm D Kv Cache Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Th06 Cpu Torch210 Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Th06 Cuda130 Torch210 Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Th06 Rocm64 Torch291 Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Workbench Jupyter Pytorch Llmcompressor Cuda Py312 Rhel/Ask Sre/Rhel Cla/Rlsapi Rhel/Rhaiis/Model Opt Cuda Rhel/Rhaiis/Vllm Cuda Rhel/Rhaiis/Vllm Rocm Rhel/Rhaii/Model Opt Cuda Rhel/Rhaii/Vllm Cpu Rhel/Rhaii/Vllm Cuda Rhel/Rhaii/Vllm Rocm Rhel/Rhaii/Vllm Spyre Rhel/Ansible Automation Platform/Automation Dashboard Rhel/Ansible Automation Platform 26/Hub Rhel/Ansible Automation Platform 26/Lightspeed Chatbot Rhel/Ansible Automation Platform 27/Hub Rhel/Ansible Automation Platform 27/Lightspeed Chatbot Rhel/Galaxy Ng/Automation Hub Container/Aap Rag Content/Ansible Chatbot Stack/Koku Report Emailer/Exploit Intelligence/Vulnerability Analysis Rhel/Insights Host Inventory/Google Lightspeed Agent/Lscore Deploy/Lightspeed Core/Rag Tool Cpu Rhel/Lightspeed Core/Rag Tool Cuda 12.9 Rhel/Lightspeed Services Ocp/Ocp Rules Rhel/Openshift Lightspeed Tech Preview/Lightspeed Rag Tool Rhel/Openshift Lightspeed/Lightspeed Service Api Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Caikit Tgis Serving Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Llama Stack Core Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Pipeline Runtime Pytorch Llmcompressor Cuda Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Automl Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Autorag Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Mlflow Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Pipeline Runtime Datascience Cpu Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Pipeline Runtime Pytorch Cuda Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Pipeline Runtime Pytorch Rocm Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Pipeline Runtime Tensorflow Cuda Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Pipeline Runtime Tensorflow Rocm Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Trustyai Garak Lls Provider Dsp Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Workbench Codeserver Datascience Cpu Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Workbench Jupyter Datascience Cpu Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Workbench Jupyter Pytorch Cuda Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Workbench Jupyter Pytorch Rocm Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Workbench Jupyter Tensorflow Cuda Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Workbench Jupyter Tensorflow Rocm Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Workbench Jupyter Trustyai Cpu Py312 Rhel/Rhai/Guidellm Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Ogx Core Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Th Torch Cpu Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Th Torch Cuda Py312 Rhel/Rhoai/Odh Th Torch Rocm Py312 Rhel/Quay/Quay Service Tool/Quay/Quay Rhel/Rhelai3/Bootc Aws Cuda Rhel/Rhelai3/Bootc Azure Cuda Rhel/Rhelai3/Bootc Azure Rocm Rhel/Rhelai3/Bootc Gcp Cuda Rhel builds), which reject TIFF images where the unpacker row size exceeds libtiff's decoded row and zero unwritten buffer space in tile and strip decoders, closing all 2 injection vectors (crafted TIFF image file with duplicate PhotometricInterpretation tags, crafted TIFF image file with duplicate BitsPerSample tags). Until patched, this is a concern on applications and automated pipelines parsing untrusted TIFF images with Pillow, so restrict untrusted TIFF file processing and disable automated thumbnail or preview generation for untrusted TIFF inputs. These controls limit blast radius and contain exploitation, but they do not fix the underlying heap out-of-bounds read defect — apply the upstream patch to fully remediate.
