Описание
pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. Prior to 6.12.1, an attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to large memory usage. This requires parsing large XMP metadata, possibly with lots of unnecessary elements. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.12.1.
A flaw was found in pypdf, a pure-python PDF library. An attacker could craft a malicious PDF file containing large XMP metadata. Processing this crafted PDF would lead to excessive memory consumption, potentially causing a denial of service (DoS) for the affected system.
Отчет
This Moderate-impact flaw in pypdf allows an attacker to trigger excessive memory consumption and a denial of service by providing a specially crafted PDF file containing large XMP metadata. This vulnerability requires user interaction, as a vulnerable application must process the malicious PDF.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
