pypdf: Manipulated FlateDecode predictor parameters can exhaust RAM

ImpactAn attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to the RAM being exhausted. This requires accessing a stream compressed using /FlateDecode with a /Predictor unequal 1 and large predictor parameters. PatchesThis has been fixed in pypdf==6.10.2. WorkaroundsIf you cannot...

pypdf: Manipulated FlateDecode XFA streams can exhaust RAM

ImpactAn attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to the RAM being exhausted. This requires accessing the xfa property of a reader or writer and the corresponding stream being compressed using /FlateDecode. PatchesThis has been fixed in pypdf==6.7.3. WorkaroundsIf projects...

pypdf possibly has long runtimes for malformed FlateDecode streams

ImpactAn attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to long runtimes. This requires a malformed /FlateDecode stream, where the byte-by-byte decompression is used. PatchesThis has been fixed in pypdf==6.7.1. WorkaroundsIf you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the changes...

PT-2026-58106

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Pillow versions 5.1.0 through 12.2.x Description The PdfParser.PdfStream.decode function in PIL/PdfParser.py calls zlib.decompress using the PDF stream Length field for the bufsize parameter without limiting the size of the decompressed output...

Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

pypdf is vulnerable to Uncontrolled Resource Consumption. The vulnerability is due to inefficient processing of PDF streams using the /FlateDecode filter with a PNG predictor, where specially crafted PDF content can trigger excessive computation during stream decoding, allowing attackers to cause...
