Summary:

Pillow could be made to crash or run programs as an administrator
if it opened a specially crafted file.

Details:

bounds checks when processing an ICC file, which could lead to a buffer
overflow. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a
specially crafted ICC file, an attacker could possibly use this issue
to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
