Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Path traversal
EUVDB-ID: #VU60001
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-22815
CWE-ID:
CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in path_getbbox() function in path.c. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.
MitigationUpdate pillow package to one of the following versions: 5.4.1-2+deb10u3, 8.1.2+dfsg-0.3+deb11u1.
Vulnerable software versionspillow (Debian package): 5.4.1 - 5.4.1-2+deb10u2
