Résumé

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

Détails de l’avis

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.

Workarounds

If you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the changes from PR #3946.
