Denial Of Service

pypdf is vulnerable to Denial Of Service. The vulnerability is due to unbounded processing of RunLengthDecode streams, where the content stream is parsed without proper memory usage checks and an attacker can craft a PDF that leads to large memory consumption...

SUSE CVE-2026-28351

pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. Prior to version 6.7.4, an attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to large memory usage. This requires parsing the content stream using the RunLengthDecode filter. This has been fixed in pypdf 6.7.4. As a workaroun...

CVE-2026-28351

A flaw was found in pypdf, a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious PDF file that, when parsed, leads to excessive memory consumption. This occurs specifically when processing the content stream using the RunLengthDecode...
