A flaw was found in pypdf. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious PDF document. When a user processes this specially crafted PDF, it can lead to excessive memory consumption, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system. This issue specifically arises when the `xfa` property of a PDF reader or writer is accessed and its corresponding stream is compressed using `/FlateDecode`.
