Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity via the decode process. An attacker can cause excessive CPU consumption and disrupt service availability by submitting specially crafted ASN.1 data containing OBJECT IDENTIFIER or RELATIVE-OID values...

PYSEC-2026-3014 pypdf vulnerable to inefficient decoding of ASCIIHexDecode streams

Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to long runtimes. This requires accessing a stream which uses the /ASCIIHexDecode filter. Patches This has been fixed in pypdf==6.7.5. Workarounds If you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the changes from PR 3666...

libtasn1: Inefficient DER Decoding in libtasn1 Leading to Potential Remote DoS

A flaw in libtasn1 causes inefficient handling of specific certificate data. When processing a large number of elements in a certificate, libtasn1 takes much longer than expected, which can slow down or even crash the system. This flaw allows an attacker to send a specially crafted certificate,...

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...

CVE-2026-49460

CVE-2026-49460 affects the Python PDF library pypdf . Prior to version 6.12.2 , processing a PDF that uses a stream with the /FlateDecode filter and a PNG predictor can cause unusually long runtimes. The issue is fixed in 6.12.2 . Impact, in line with the sources, is a denial of service-like slow...

GHSA-QPXP-75PX-XJCP pypdf has inefficient decoding of array-based streams

Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to long runtimes and/or large memory usage. This requires accessing an array-based stream with lots of entries. Patches This has been fixed in pypdf==6.9.1. Workarounds If you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the...

Inefficient Decoding

pypdf is vulnerable to inefficient decoding of ASCIIHexDecode streams. The vulnerability is due to an attacker being able to craft a PDF which leads to long runtimes, where accessing a stream uses the /ASCIIHexDecode filter and can be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service...

CVE-2026-28804 pypdf: Inefficient decoding of ASCIIHexDecode streams

pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. Prior to version 6.7.5, an attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to long runtimes. This requires accessing a stream which uses the /ASCIIHexDecode filter. This issue has been patched in version 6.7.5...

gnutls security update

An update is available for gnutls. This update affects Rocky Linux 9. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System CVSS base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE list The gnutls packages provide the GNU Transport Layer Security GnuTLS library,...

CVE-2024-12133

CVE-2024-12133 affects libtasn1 and causes inefficient DER/SEQUENCE OF handling, enabling remote DoS via crafted certificates. Connected advisories confirm affected package libtasn1 and provide mitigations: update to patched libtasn1 versions (e.g., 4.19.x+/4.10.x+ as per distro advisories). If e...

CVE-2024-12133 Libtasn1: inefficient der decoding in libtasn1 leading to potential remote dos

A flaw in libtasn1 causes inefficient handling of specific certificate data. When processing a large number of elements in a certificate, libtasn1 takes much longer than expected, which can slow down or even crash the system. This flaw allows an attacker to send a specially crafted certificate,...
