NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qpdf-doc package and not the qpdf-doc package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

A stack-consumption vulnerability was found in libqpdf in QPDF 6.0.0, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file, related to the QPDFTokenizer::resolveLiteral function in QPDFTokenizer.cc after two consecutive calls to QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal, aka an "infinite loop."
