Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.12%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

There is a DoS vulnerability in Pillow before 6.2.2 caused by FpxImagePlugin.py calling the range function on an unvalidated 32-bit integer if the number of bands is large. On Windows running 32-bit Python, this results in an OverflowError or MemoryError due to the 2 GB limit. However, on Linux running 64-bit Python this results in the process being terminated by the OOM killer.
