CVE-2021-28678: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity in Pillow
(updated )
An issue was discovered in Pillow before 8.2.0. For BLP data, BlpImagePlugin did not properly check that reads (after jumping to file offsets) returned data. This could lead to a DoS where the decoder could be run a large number of times on empty data.
