CVE-2026-112892— Pillow: MSP RLE decoder expands a tiny file into unbounded memory
Quick assessment
Affected
python-pillow Pillow
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.
Pillow 是一个 Python 图像处理库。在 4.1.0 至 13.0.0 版本中，Pillow 的 MSP RLE 解码器能够将一个小文件解压缩为无限制大小的内存缓冲区。该解码器将游程编码（RLE）输出写入 BytesIO 对象时，未将扩展范围限制在声明的图像尺寸内。攻击者可向加载像素数据的应用程序提供特制的 MSP 图像，从而耗尽内存并导致服务拒绝（DoS），即使声明的像素数量通过了“解压缩炸弹”检测。此问题已在 13.0.0 版本中修复。

Vulnerability Title
Pillow: MSP RLE decoder expands a tiny file into unbounded memory
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 4.1.0 until 13.0.0, Pillow's MSP RLE decoder can expand a small file into an unbounded in-memory buffer. The decoder writes run-length output to BytesIO without limiting expansion to the declared image size. An attacker can supply a crafted MSP image to an application that loads its pixels. This can exhaust memory and deny service even when the declared pixel count passes the decompression-bomb check. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0.
