| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in pypdf. It can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) through excessive memory consumption when processing a crafted, invalid PDF dictionary in strict mode. In this scenario, nested parsing errors repeatedly append text to new exceptions, amplifying the error message size. A remote attacker could supply a malformed PDF document to exhaust available system memory, causing the application to crash or become unresponsive.
