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 5.1.0 至 13.0.0 版本之间，Pillow 在执行 PDF 追加操作、解析已存在的 PDF 文件时，可能导致资源耗尽。PdfParser 在遍历页面树子节点引用时未进行循环或重复检测，且仅通过精确的重复偏移量保护来跟踪前导截尾链（previous-trailer chains），因此深层或循环的页面树结构，以及由大量唯一截尾偏移量构成的长链，均可能耗尽 Python 的调用栈。此外，重复的非循环 引用也可能导致 CPU 和内存使用量呈超线性增长。攻击者可

Vulnerability Title
Pillow: Unbounded recursion parsing a PDF page tree or trailer chain (incomplete fix for CVE-2026-42310)
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 5.1.0 until 13.0.0, Pillow can exhaust resources while parsing an existing PDF during an append operation. PdfParser follows page-tree child references without cycle or duplication tracking and follows previous-trailer chains with only an exact repeated-offset guard, so deep or cyclic page trees and long chains of unique trailer offsets can exhaust the Python stack. Repeated non-cyclic /Kids references can also cause super-linear CPU and memory use. An attacker can supply such a PDF to an application that calls Image.save with PDF append enabled. This can raise an uncaught RecursionError or consume excessive CPU and memory before output is written, causing denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0.
