| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in pypdf. A remote attacker can exploit this issue by submitting a specially crafted PDF document with specific form field values. When an application updates these fields with flattening enabled, redundant computational operations are repeated inside a loop during appearance stream generation. This excessive workload consumes processing resources, leading to application unresponsiveness and a Denial of Service (DoS).
