description
Pillow before 13.0.0 may return stale heap memory as pixel data when decoding malformed JPEG-compressed or Group 4 TIFF images. An attacker who can submit such an image to an application may obtain process-memory data if the application exposes a preview, conversion, thumbnail, OCR result, or other pixel-derived output.
mitigation
Upgrade Pillow to version 13.0.0 or later. Until upgraded, do not process untrusted TIFF files or prevent pixel-derived results from being returned to untrusted users.
fixed in 13.0.0
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
