The patch to fix CVE-2014-9601\ncaused a regression which resulted in failures when processing certain\npng images. This update temporarily reverts the security fix for CVE-2014-9601\npending further investigation.\n\nWe apologize for the inconvenience.\n\nOriginal advisory details:\n\nIt was discovered that a flaw in processing a compressed text chunk in\na PNG image could cause the image to have a large size when decompressed,\npotentially leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2014-9601)\n\nAndrew Drake discovered that Pillow incorrectly validated input. A remote\nattacker could use this to cause Pillow to crash, resulting in a denial\nof service. (CVE-2014-3589)\n\nEric Soroos discovered that Pillow incorrectly handled certain malformed\nFLI, Tiff, and PhotoCD files. A remote attacker could use this issue to\ncause Pillow to crash, resulting in a denial of service.\n(CVE-2016-0740, CVE-2016-0775, CVE-2016-2533)\n \n","modified":"2026-02-10T04:41:02Z","published":"2016-09-30T16:44:22Z","related":["UBUNTU-CVE-2014-9601"],"upstream":["CVE-2014-9601","UBUNTU-CVE-2014-9601"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-3090-2"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2014-9601"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://launchpad.net/bugs/1628351"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"pillow","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/pillow@2.3.0-1ubuntu3.3?arch=source&distro=trusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.3.0-1ubuntu3.3"}]}],"versions":["2.2.1-1ubuntu2","2.2.1-2ubuntu1","2.2.1-3ubuntu2","2.2.1-3ubuntu3","2.2.1-3ubuntu4","2.2.1-3ubuntu6","2.3.0-1ubuntu1","2.3.0-1ubuntu2","2.3.0-1ubuntu3","2.3.0-1ubuntu3.2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"No subscription required","binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.3.0-1ubuntu3.3","binary_name":"python-imaging"},{"binary_version":"2.3.0-1ubuntu3.3","binary_name":"python-imaging-compat"},{"binary_version":"2.3.0-1ubuntu3.3","binary_name":"python-imaging-sane"},{"binary_version":"2.3.0-1ubuntu3.3","binary_name":"python-imaging-tk"},{"binary_version":"2.3.0-1ubuntu3.3","binary_name":"python-pil"},{"binary_version":"2.3.0-1ubuntu3.3","binary_name":"python-pil.imagetk"},{"binary_version":"2.3.0-1ubuntu3.3","binary_name":"python-sane"},{"binary_version":"2.3.0-1ubuntu3.3","binary_name":"python3-imaging"},{"binary_version":"2.3.0-1ubuntu3.3","binary_name":"python3-imaging-sane"},{"binary_version":"2.3.0-1ubuntu3.3","binary_name":"python3-imaging-tk"},{"binary_version":"2.3.0-1ubuntu3.3","binary_name":"python3-pil"},{"binary_version":"2.3.0-1ubuntu3.3","binary_name":"python3-pil.imagetk"},{"binary_version":"2.3.0-1ubuntu3.3","binary_name":"python3-sane"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/usn/USN-3090-2.json","cves_map":{"ecosystem":"Ubuntu:14.04:LTS","cves":[]}}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3"}
