None.

Description
===========

- CVE-2020-35653 (information disclosure)

In python-pillow before 8.1.0, PcxDecode has a buffer over-read when
decoding a crafted PCX file because the user-supplied stride value is
trusted for buffer calculations.

- CVE-2020-35654 (arbitrary code execution)

In python-pillow before 8.1.0, TiffDecode has a heap-based buffer
overflow when decoding crafted YCbCr files because of certain
interpretation conflicts with LibTIFF in RGBA mode.

- CVE-2020-35655 (denial of service)

In python-pillow before 8.1.0, SGIRleDecode has a 4-byte buffer over-
read when decoding crafted SGI RLE image files because offsets and
length tables are mishandled.

Impact
======

A local malicious user might craft a malformed file to execute
arbitrary code, read from memory or crash the application.
