CVE-2014-1933: Python Pillow

Low severity, CVSS 2.1. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The (1) JpegImagePlugin.py and (2) EpsImagePlugin.py scripts in Python Image Library (PIL) 1.1.7 and earlier and Pillow before 2.3.1 uses the names of temporary files on the command line, which makes it easier for local users to conduct symlink attacks by listing the processes.

Affected products

• Python Pillow: up to and including 2.3.0
• Pythonware Python Imaging Library: up to and including 1.1.7
