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 13.0.0 版本之前，Pillow 的 XBM 文件头解析器存在正则表达式拒绝服务（ReDoS）漏洞。当应用程序对一个精心构造的小型 XBM 文件调用 时， 方法中的 会在接受图像尺寸之前，对攻击者控制的文件头应用回溯正则表达式，导致工作线程停滞数分钟，从而引发服务拒绝。该问题已在 13.0.0 版本中修复。

Vulnerability Title
Pillow: ReDoS in XbmImagePlugin: 512-byte file stalls Image.open() for minutes
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 13.0.0, Pillow's XBM header parser is vulnerable to regular-expression denial of service. In XbmImageFile._open, when an application calls Image.open() on a small crafted XBM file, XbmImagePlugin applies a backtracking expression to the attacker-controlled header before image dimensions are accepted, stalling a worker for minutes and denying service. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0.
