NVD Description

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

pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. Prior to version 6.0.0, an attacker can craft a PDF which leads to the RAM being exhausted. This requires just reading the file if a series of FlateDecode filters is used on a malicious cross-reference stream. Other content streams are affected on explicit access. This issue has been fixed in 6.0.0. If an update is not possible, a workaround involves including the fixed code from pypdf.filters.decompress into the existing filters file.
