CVE-2026-40192

A flaw was found in Pillow, a Python imaging library. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to trigger a denial of service (DoS) by providing a specially crafted FITS image file. The library's failure to limit the amount of GZIP-compressed data during decoding can lead to unbounded memory consumption, causing the system to crash or experience severe performance issues.
