DescriptionNVD

pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. Prior to 6.12.0, an attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to long runtimes. This requires cross-reference streams with /W [0 0 0] values and large /Size values. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.12.0.

AnalysisAI

Denial-of-service via algorithmic complexity in pypdf before 6.12.0 allows an attacker who can supply a crafted PDF file to cause excessive processing time during cross-reference stream parsing. The vulnerability is triggered by crafting a PDF with /W [0 0 0] field values in a cross-reference stream combined with a large /Size value, which causes the library to perform unbounded iteration over zero-byte entries. …
