pypdf: Possible infinite loop for TreeObject.insert_child

Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to an infinite loop. This requires a usually writing code path where TreeObject.insertchild is involved. Patches This has been fixed in pypdf==6.16.0. Workarounds If you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the changes fr...
