| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in pypdf, a pure-python PDF library. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious PDF file containing a malformed /FlateDecode stream. This stream, which is used for data compression within the PDF, can cause excessively long processing times when decompressed byte-by-byte. This leads to a Denial of Service (DoS), making the affected system or application unresponsive.
