NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qpdf package and not the qpdf package as distributed by Ubuntu.

libqpdf.a in QPDF 6.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion and stack consumption) via a crafted PDF document, related to QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal, aka qpdf-infiniteloop2.
