pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. Prior to 6.8.0, an attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to large memory usage. This requires parsing a content stream with a rather large /Length value, regardless of the actual data length inside the stream. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.8.0.

A flaw was found in pypdf, a pure-Python PDF library. An attacker can craft a malicious PDF file containing a content stream with an intentionally large /Length value. When this PDF is parsed, it can lead to excessive memory consumption, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition due to resource exhaustion.
