Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. Prior to 6.13.3, a maliciously crafted PDF can cause DoS. An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to large memory usage, as MAX_DECLARED_STREAM_LENGTH is sometimes ignored. This requires parsing a content stream without a /Length value. This issue has been fixed in version 6.13.3.

Comment 1 Tadej Janež 2026-07-03 22:06:14 UTC
Version 6.14.2 is now in rawhide.

For Fedora 44/43, I'm reluctant to upgrade them since it would be upgrading 2 major versions (from 4.2.0 to 6.14.2) in a stable release.
