Medium (4.8) in pypdf project pypdf. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in pypdf 6.10.2.
pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. An attacker who uses a vulnerability present in versions prior to 6.10.2 can craft a PDF which leads to long runtimes. This requires loading a PDF with a large trailer `/Size` value in incremental mode. This has been fixed in pypdf 6.10.2. As a workaround, one may apply the changes from the patch manually.
