Details

USN-5777-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Pillow (Python 3). This update provides the corresponding updates for Pillow (Python 2) in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that Pillow incorrectly handled the deletion of temporary files when using a temporary directory that contains spaces. An attacker could possibly use this issue to delete arbitrary files. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-24303)

It was discovered that Pillow incorrectly handled the decompression of highly compressed GIF data. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Pillow to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-45198)
