Pillow Arrow Export Memory Leak Vulnerability

Short explanation

A vulnerability in Pillow's Arrow export process leads to stale heap memory and pixel leakage when PILLOW_ALIGNMENT is configured. This issue affects versions from 11.2.1 up to 13.0.0 and is fixed in version 13.0.0 [S0, S1].

Why does it matter?

It can expose sensitive process memory or other users' pixels, thereby creating privacy violation risks [S0, S1].

What should be done?

  • Update to version 13.0.0 or later [S0, S1].
  • Follow vendor advisories [S0].
  • Review alignment configurations [S0, S1].
Chain of evidence and sources2 verified claims

Zafiyet, Pillow kütüphanesinin 11.2.1 sürümünden 13.0.0 sürümüne kadar olan sürümlerini etkilemektedir [S0, S1].

Arrow dışa aktarımı sırasında oluşan tampon, eski yığın içeriklerini ve başlatılmamış pikselleri sızdırabilir [S0, S1].

Show the technical text from the sources

Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 11.2.1 until 13.0.0, Arrow export assumes that an image's rows are tightly contiguous and exports from im->blocks[0].ptr even when PILLOW_ALIGNMENT makes aligned_linesize include row padding or an aligned offset before the first row. The resulting Arrow buffer can include uninitialized padding, bytes preceding the first row, or stale heap contents from previously freed images. Applications that configure alignment and export images to Arrow can therefore disclose one user's pixels or other process memory to another user. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0.
