Description Marian Rehak 2026-07-09 09:47:58 UTC

pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. Prior to 6.14.1, an attacker can craft a PDF with a page content stream containing a not terminated inline image, causing an infinite loop during inline image end marker detection such as when extracting page text. This issue is fixed in version 6.14.1.

Comment 1 Tadej Janež 2026-07-09 10:41:58 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.
