    Published: 2 Jun 2021Last Modified: 20 Oct 2026

    Summary:

    Details: An issue was discovered in Pillow before 8.2.0. For BLP data, BlpImagePlugin did not properly check that reads (after jumping to file offsets) returned data. This could lead to a DoS where the decoder could be run a large number of times on empty data.
