pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. Prior to 6.15.0, an attacker can craft a PDF that causes long runtimes when the pypdf/_utils.py function read_until_whitespace reads a stream containing a long run of bytes without whitespace. The function repeatedly performs immutable bytes concatenation in a one-byte loop, causing quadratic processing cost for the long non-whitespace input. This issue is fixed in version 6.15.0.
A flaw was found in pypdf. An attacker can craft a PDF that causes long runtimes when the read_until_whitespace function processes a stream containing a long sequence of bytes without whitespace. This occurs due to inefficient algorithmic complexity, where the function repeatedly performs immutable bytes concatenation in a one-byte loop. This leads to quadratic processing cost and a potential Denial of Service (DoS).
