NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pypdf package and not the pypdf package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:14 relevant fixed versions and status.

pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. Prior to 6.13.3, a maliciously crafted PDF can cause DoS. An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to large memory usage, as MAX_DECLARED_STREAM_LENGTH is sometimes ignored. This requires parsing a content stream without a /Length value. This issue has been fixed in version 6.13.3.
