A flaw was found in pypdf, a pure-python PDF library. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious PDF file containing repeated malformed cross-reference streams. This could cause the pypdf library to spend excessive time recovering broken cross-reference table entries, leading to a denial of service (DoS) condition for applications processing such files.
