CVE-ID: CVE-2020-5310
CWE-ID:
CWE-190 - Integer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to TIFF decoding integer overflow in "libImaging/TiffDecode.c". A remote attacker can trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

5) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU24205
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-19911
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists when processing FPX images due to the "FpxImagePlugin.py" calls the range function on an unvalidated 32-bit integer if the number of bands is large. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.
On Windows running 32-bit Python, this results in an OverflowError or MemoryError due to the 2 GB limit. However, on Linux running 64-bit Python this results in the process being terminated by the OOM killer.
