Pillow: Quadratic GIF comment copying during save
🔗 CVE IDs covered (1)
📋 Description
On Pillow 12.3.0 and upstream main (ad277e2761b489681e71b51e91367d46b0ceabb9), a GIF with a long comment makes _get_global_header() copy portions of the comment repeatedly when saving, including comments carried over from untrusted images. I suggest provisional Moderate severity for crafted-image CPU denial of service, with CVSS-B 6.9 assuming a network service automatically opens unauthenticated uploads and they are resaved as GIFs; impact depends on input-size, concurrency, and worker CPU limits.
