ETK-2026-3298Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
Pillow versions before 13.0.0 can mishandle image metadata when saving images as compressed TIFF files through libtiff. An attacker who can supply an image that an application later converts or re-saves as compressed TIFF may cause process crashes or expose process memory in generated output.
mitigation
Upgrade Pillow to version 13.0.0 or later. Until upgrading, avoid saving untrusted images as compressed TIFF and strip or replace source TIFF and EXIF metadata before TIFF output.
fixed in 13.0.0
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
