CVE-2026-112402: Pillow Double Free Vulnerability

Sources read

Source agreement

Tam uyum

Short explanation

Pillow contains a double free vulnerability in ImagingScaleAffine due to a selective allocation failure encountered under memory pressure.

Why does it matter?

Attackers can exploit this issue to crash the process and potentially corrupt memory.

What should be done?

Update to version 13.0.0 or later
Follow vendor advisories

Show the technical text from the sources

Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 13.0.0, Pillow can double free image memory when ImagingScaleAffine encounters a selective allocation failure. The affected fast path handles Transform.EXTENT or pure scale-and-translate Transform.AFFINE operations with the default NEAREST resampling. The output image allocation must succeed while the additional per-column lookup allocation fails, after which the error path deletes image storage that later cleanup releases again. An attacker who can drive such a large Image.transform() operation under memory pressure may trigger the failure. This can crash the process and may corrupt memory. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0.
