CVE-2020-5311

Description

An out-of-bounds write flaw was discovered in python-pillow in the way SGI RLE images are decoded. An application that uses python-pillow to decode untrusted images may be vulnerable to this flaw, which can allow an attacker to crash the application or potentially execute code on the system.

Statement

This issue did not affect the versions of python-pillow and python-imaging as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, and 7 as they did not include the SGI RLE image decoder, where the flaw lies.

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).
