PyPI Pillow < 8.1.2 8.1.2

Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

Pillow before 8.1.2 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) because the reported size of a contained image is not properly checked for a BLP container, and thus an attempted memory allocation can be very large.
