Vulnerability Title
Pillow BdfFontFile`: `Image.new()` called without `_decompression_bomb_check()` — bomb protection bypass via font loading
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 12.3.0, PIL/BdfFontFile.py bdf_char() read the BBX width and height field from a BDF font file and passed attacker-controlled dimensions to Image.new() without calling Image._decompression_bomb_check(), bypassing Pillow's documented decompression bomb protection and allowing excessive memory allocation. This issue is fixed in version 12.3.0.

Pillow 资源管理错误漏洞
Source: CNNVD (China National Vulnerability Database)
Vulnerability Description
Pillow是Pillow组织开源的一款基于Python的图像处理库。 Pillow 12.3.0之前版本存在资源管理错误漏洞，该漏洞源于PIL/BdfFontFile.py bdf_char()在读取BDF字体文件中的BBX宽度和高度字段时，未调用Image._decompression_bomb_check()，绕过了解压炸弹保护，允许攻击者控制尺寸参数导致过度内存分配。
