CVE-2016-3076
Heap-based buffer overflow in the j2k_encode_entry function in Pillow 2.5.0 through 3.1.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted Jpeg2000 file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.58%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
