CVE-2026-59204

Pillow JPEG2000 tiled decode retains a growing scratch buffer and can be used for denial of service

8.7 HighFix available

Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 8.2.0 through 12.2.0, src/libImaging/Jpeg2KDecode.c accumulates total_component_width across every tile in a JPEG2000 image instead of recomputing it per tile, allowing a crafted tiled JPEG2000 file to force substantially higher transient memory usage and trigger out-of-memory failures during decoding. This issue is fixed in version 12.3.0.

Pillow JPEG2000 tiled decode retains a growing scratch buffer and can be used for denial of service

Summary

src/libImaging/Jpeg2KDecode.c:853 accumulates total_component_width across every tile in a JPEG2000 image instead of recomputing it per tile. That accumulated value is then used in the tile_bytes calculation at src/libImaging/Jpeg2KDecode.c:868, which can make the decoder grow state->buffer via realloc at src/libImaging/Jpeg2KDecode.c:876 up to roughly one full image's decompressed size even when each tile is small. A crafted tiled JPEG2000 file can therefore force substantially higher transient memory usage and trigger out-of-memory failures during decoding. Based on current evidence, the supported impact is denial of service, not memory corruption.

Details

  • Location: src/libImaging/Jpeg2KDecode.c:853
  • Root cause: total_component_width is initialized only once before the tile loop and keeps growing across tiles. It is then used to derive tile_bytes, so later tiles are treated as if they had the combined component width of all earlier tiles.
  • Dangerous operation: tile_bytes is promoted into tile_info.data_size, then state->buffer is grown with realloc at src/libImaging/Jpeg2KDecode.c:876.
  • Reachability: any attacker-controlled JPEG2000 image with many tiles reaches this path during normal Image.open(...).load() decoding.

PoC

The attached helper script and testcase were used: exercise_j2k_tile_realloc.zip

Generate the testcase:

pythonexercise_j2k_tile_realloc.py make poc_3664_rgba_tile1832.jp2 \
  --size 3664 --tile 1832

Expected geometry from the helper:

  • image size: 3664 x 3664
  • mode: RGBA
  • tile size: 1832 x 1832 (2x2 tiles)
  • image_bytes=53699584
  • uncapped RSS observed:
    • vulnerable build: maxrss_kb=180264
    • fixed comparison build: maxrss_kb=138404

Load it with the current vulnerable build:

python exercise_j2k_tile_realloc.py load poc_3664_rgba_tile1832.jp2

Load it again under a 160 MB address-space cap:

python exercise_j2k_tile_realloc.py load poc_3664_rgba_tile1832.jp2 --limit-mb 160

Impact

Conservative impact: denial of service through memory exhaustion during JPEG2000 decoding.

Pillow JPEG2000 tiled decode retains a growing scratch buffer and can be used for denial of service

Summary

src/libImaging/Jpeg2KDecode.c:853 accumulates total_component_width across every tile in a JPEG2000 image instead of recomputing it per tile. That accumulated value is then used in the tile_bytes calculation at src/libImaging/Jpeg2KDecode.c:868, which can make the decoder grow state->buffer via realloc at src/libImaging/Jpeg2KDecode.c:876 up to roughly one full image's decompressed size even when each tile is small. A crafted tiled JPEG2000 file can therefore force substantially higher transient memory usage and trigger out-of-memory failures during decoding. Based on current evidence, the supported impact is denial of service, not memory corruption.

Details

  • Location: src/libImaging/Jpeg2KDecode.c:853
  • Root cause: total_component_width is initialized only once before the tile loop and keeps growing across tiles. It is then used to derive tile_bytes, so later tiles are treated as if they had the combined component width of all earlier tiles.
  • Dangerous operation: tile_bytes is promoted into tile_info.data_size, then state->buffer is grown with realloc at src/libImaging/Jpeg2KDecode.c:876.
  • Reachability: any attacker-controlled JPEG2000 image with many tiles reaches this path during normal Image.open(...).load() decoding.

pythonexercise_j2k_tile_realloc.py make poc_3664_rgba_tile1832.jp2 \
  --size 3664 --tile 1832

Expected geometry from the helper:

  • image size: 3664 x 3664
  • mode: RGBA
  • tile size: 1832 x 1832 (2x2 tiles)
  • image_bytes=53699584
  • uncapped RSS observed:
    • vulnerable build: maxrss_kb=180264
    • fixed comparison build: maxrss_kb=138404

Load it with the current vulnerable build:

python exercise_j2k_tile_realloc.py load poc_3664_rgba_tile1832.jp2

Load it again under a 160 MB address-space cap:

python exercise_j2k_tile_realloc.py load poc_3664_rgba_tile1832.jp2 --limit-mb 160

Impact

Conservative impact: denial of service through memory exhaustion during JPEG2000 decoding.

Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 8.2.0 through 12.2.0, src/libImaging/Jpeg2KDecode.c accumulates total_component_width across every tile in a JPEG2000 image instead of recomputing it per tile, allowing a crafted tiled JPEG2000 file to force substantially higher transient memory usage and trigger out-of-memory failures during decoding. This issue is fixed in version 12.3.0.

pillow vulnerabilities

It was discovered that Pillow incorrectly handled map stride values when loading certain McIdas AREA images. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service. (CVE-2026-54058)

It was discovered that Pillow did not properly check for decompression bombs when processing font files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Pillow to consume excessive memory, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-54059, CVE-2026-54060, CVE-2026-55379)

It was discovered that Pillow did not properly check for decompression bombs when loading GD image files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Pillow to consume excessive memory, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-55380)

It was discovered that Pillow incorrectly validated filter sizes in the rank filter implementation. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Pillow to crash or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-59197)

It was discovered that Pillow incorrectly handled image coordinate calculations. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Pillow to crash. (CVE-2026-59199)

It was discovered that Pillow did not properly limit the size of decompressed PDF stream data. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Pillow to consume excessive memory, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-59200)

It was discovered that Pillow incorrectly parsed EPS files containing a negative byte count in the BeginBinary directive. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Pillow to hang, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-59203)

It was discovered that Pillow incorrectly accumulated JPEG2000 tile component widths. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Pillow to consume excessive memory, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-59204)

It was discovered that Pillow incorrectly validated image mode compatibility in color management transforms. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Pillow to crash or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-59205)
