### Impact An attacker who exploits this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to possibly long runtimes for actually invalid files. This can be achieved by omitting the `/Root` entry in the trailer, while using a rather large `/Size` value. Only the non-strict reading mode is affected. ### Patches This has been fixed in [pypdf==6.6.0](https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf/releases/tag/6.6.0). ### Workarounds ```python from pypdf import PdfReader, PdfWriter # Instead of reader = PdfReader("file.pdf") # use the strict mode: reader = PdfReader("file.pdf", strict=True) # Instead of writer = PdfWriter(clone_from="file.pdf") # use an explicit strict reader: writer = PdfWriter(clone_from=PdfReader("file.pdf", strict=True)) ``` ### Resources This issue has been fixed in #3594.
