Pillow before 8.1.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory
consumption) because the reported size of a contained image is not properly
checked for a BLP container, and thus an attempted memory allocation can be
very large.

Notes

Author Note
mdeslaur while this is mentioned in the 8.1.1 release notes, it doesn’t seem to be mentioned in the CHANGES file, and I can’t seem to locate the commits that fix this in 8.1.1 vs 8.1.0 This was actually fixed in 8.1.2.
