In Xpdf 4.05 (and earlier), a PDF object loop in a pattern resource leads
to infinite recursion and a stack overflow.

Notes

Author Note
mdeslaur In trusty to bionic, xpdf is built with poppler as the backend library, so most xpdf issues don’t apply to it. In jammy and later, the xpdf package is actually xpopple, a fork that also builds against poppler.
