There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 qpdf-doc.

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:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In QPDF 8.2.1, in libqpdf/QPDFWriter.cc, QPDFWriter::unparseObject and QPDFWriter::unparseChild have recursive calls for a long time, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted PDF file.
