What is CVE-2021-28677?

An issue was discovered in the Pillow image processing library prior to version 8.2.0, where the handling of EPS data was compromised by an inefficient readline implementation in the EPSImageFile module. This flaw allowed maliciously crafted EPS files to exploit the library by performing a denial of service during the initial open phase, effectively preventing the successful loading of the image.
