Описание
pypdf's LZWDecode streams be manipulated to exhaust RAM
Impact
An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to a memory usage of up to 1 GB per stream. This requires parsing the content stream of a page using the LZWDecode filter.
This is a follow up to GHSA-jfx9-29x2-rv3j to align the default limit with the one for zlib.
Patches
This has been fixed in pypdf==6.4.0.
