Astra Linux – Vulnerability in pypdf2

pypdf is a free and open-source Python-based PDF library. Prior to version 6.7.2, an attacker who exploited this vulnerability could create a PDF that would lead to an infinite loop. This required reading the file. This issue has been fixed in pypdf 6.7.2. As a workaround, one can manually apply...

pypdf: Possible long runtimes/large memory usage for large CID font width ranges

Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to long runtimes and large memory consumption. This requires parsing the font width entries of a font with unusually large values, for example during text extraction. Patches This has been fixed in pypdf==6.15.0. Workaroun...

PYSEC-2026-3610 pypdf: Possible long runtimes for repeated malformed cross-reference entries

Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to long runtimes. This requires cross-reference streams with repeated malformed cross-reference streams. Patches This has been fixed in pypdf==6.14.0. Workarounds If you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the changes fr...

pypdf: Possible infinite loop for not terminated inline images

ImpactAn attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to an infinite loop. This requires parsing the content stream of a page with a not terminated inline image, as done when extracting the page text for example. PatchesThis has been fixed in pypdf==6.14.1. WorkaroundsIf you...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

pypdf is vulnerable to Denial Of Service DoS. The vulnerability is due to inefficient recovery of malformed cross-reference streams in crafted PDF files, which allows an attacker to cause excessive processing time and trigger a denial-of-service condition...

GHSA-G867-7843-WF8Q pypdf: Possible infinite loop for not terminated inline images (ASCII85 and ASCIIHex filter)

Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to an infinite loop. This requires parsing the content stream of a page with a not terminated inline image, as done when extracting the page text for example. It only affects the ASCII85 and ASCIIHex filters. Patches This...

PYSEC-2026-3009 pypdf: Possible infinite loop when retrieving fonts for layout-mode text extraction

Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to an infinite loop. This requires extracting the text in layout mode. Patches This has been fixed in pypdf==6.13.0. Workarounds If you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the changes from PR 3830...

PYSEC-2026-3020 pypdf: Possible large memory usage for form XObjects during text extraction

Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to large memory usage. This requires extracting the text of a page which contains a form XObject with self-references. Patches This has been fixed in pypdf==6.12.2. Workarounds If you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying...

PYSEC-2026-3004 pypdf: Possible long runtimes for zero-only width values in cross-reference streamsuntimes for zero-only width values in cross-reference streams

Impact 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. Patches This has been fixed in pypdf==6.12.0. Workarounds If developers are unable to upgrade their apps immediately, the...

pypdf: Manipulated XMP metadata entity declarations can exhaust RAM

ImpactAn attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to large memory usage. This requires parsing the XMP metadata. PatchesThis has been fixed in pypdf==6.10.0. WorkaroundsIf you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the changes from PR 3724...

pypdf: Possible infinite loop during recovery attempts in DictionaryObject.read_from_stream

ImpactAn attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to an infinite loop. This requires reading a file in non-strict mode. PatchesThis has been fixed in pypdf==6.9.2. WorkaroundsIf users cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the changes from PR 3693...

PYSEC-2026-3019 pypdf: manipulated stream length values can exhaust RAM

Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to large memory usage. This requires parsing a content stream with a rather large /Length value, regardless of the actual data length inside the stream. Patches This has been fixed in pypdf==6.8.0. Workarounds If you canno...

PYSEC-2026-3027 pypdf: Manipulated FlateDecode XFA streams can exhaust RAM

Impact An 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. Patches This has been fixed in pypdf==6.7.3. Workarounds If...

PYSEC-2026-3008 pypdf and PyPDF2 possible Infinite Loop when a comment isn't followed by a character

Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to an infinite loop if parsecontentstream is executed. This infinite loop blocks the current process and can utilize a single core of the CPU by 100%. It does not affect memory usage. That is, for example, the case if the...
