CVE-2022-22815
Description
A flaw was found in python-pillow. The vulnerability occurs due to improper initialization of image paths, leading to improperly initializing the ImagePath. This flaw allows an attacker to access unauthorized memory that causes memory access errors, incorrect results, or crashes.
Statement
Red Hat Quay ships a vulnerable version of Pillow as a dependency of xhtml2pdf. The xhtml2pdf package is used in the invoice generation feature of Quay, however, the vulnerable ImagePath module is not used by xhtml2pdf. Therefore impact for Quay is rated Low.
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).

Red Hat CVSS v3 Score Explanation
C:N because the attacker can not access any private data. I:L because an attacker can only change some input data. A:L because an attacker can not have the ability to completely crash the component.
Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Read Memory; Read Application Data
When reusing a resource such as memory or a program variable, the original contents of that resource may not be cleared before it is sent to an untrusted party.
Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart
The uninitialized resource may contain values that cause program flow to change in ways that the programmer did not intend.
