CVE-2020-10379

Description

From CVE.org

In Pillow before 7.1.0, there are two Buffer Overflows in libImaging/TiffDecode.c.

Statement

While python-pillow is listed as a dependency of Red Hat Quay, it is not used by the application.

This issue did not affect the versions of python-pillow as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, 7, and 8 as they provide an older version of the code which does not include the vulnerable code.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details

Info alert:Important note

CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)

Integrity,Confidentiality,Availability

Technical Impact: Modify Memory; Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands

Buffer overflows often can be used to execute arbitrary code, which is usually outside the scope of the product's implicit security policy. This can often be used to subvert any other security service.

Availability

Technical Impact: Modify Memory; DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart; DoS: Resource Consumption (CPU)

Buffer overflows generally lead to crashes. Other attacks leading to lack of availability are possible, including putting the product into an infinite loop.
