{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-96643","details":"Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 11.0.0 until 13.0.0, Exif.load() in src/PIL/Image.py repeatedly slices the remaining EXIF data while it begins with the six-byte Exif header. src/PIL/PngImagePlugin.py accepts an uncapped PNG eXIf chunk, so a file filled with repeated headers causes a new shrinking copy on every iteration and quadratic CPU work. The condition is reachable through Image.getexif(), Image._getexif(), and ImageOps.exif_transpose(), including common photo-upload rotation workflows. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0.","modified":"2026-10-22T10:01:02.854293689Z","published":"2026-10-22T09:47:25.601226891Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-96643"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-96643"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"pillow","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/pillow?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["10.0.0-1","10.1.0-1","10.2.0-1","10.3.0-1","10.3.0-2","10.4.0-1","10.4.0-1.1","11.1.0-1","11.1.0-2","11.1.0-3","11.1.0-4","11.1.0-5","11.2.1-1","11.3.0-1","12.0.0-1","12.1.0-1","12.1.1-1","12.1.1-2","12.2.0-1","12.3.0-1","13.0.0-1","9.4.0-1.1","9.4.0-1.1+deb12u1","9.5.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-96643.json"}},{"package":{"name":"pillow","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/pillow?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["11.1.0-5","11.1.0-5+deb13u1","11.1.0-5+deb13u2","11.1.0-5+deb13u3","11.1.0-5+deb13u4","11.2.1-1","11.3.0-1","12.0.0-1","12.1.0-1","12.1.1-1","12.1.1-2","12.2.0-1","12.3.0-1","13.0.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-96643.json"}},{"package":{"name":"pillow","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/pillow?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["11.1.0-5","11.2.1-1","11.3.0-1","12.0.0-1","12.1.0-1","12.1.1-1","12.1.1-2","12.2.0-1","12.3.0-1","13.0.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-96643.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
