https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-46250
31 Oct 2023 — pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. An attacker who uses a vulnerability present in versions 3.7.0 through 3.16.4 can craft a PDF which leads to an infinite loop. This infinite loop blocks the current process and can utilize a single core of the CPU by 100%. It does not affect memory usage. That is, for example, the case when the pypdf-user manipulates an incoming malicious PDF e.g. by merging it with another PDF or by adding annotations. • https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf/commit/9b23ac3c9619492570011d551d521690de9a3e2d • CWE-835: Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop') •
