Description
Impact
An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to large memory consumption. This requires parsing the /ToUnicode entry of a font with unusually large values, for example during text extraction.
Patches
This has been fixed in pypdf==6.18.1.
Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the changes from PR #4071.
NVD description
pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. Prior to 6.18.1, a crafted PDF can place unusually large source-code or destination-string tokens in a font /ToUnicode mapping, causing pypdf/_cmap.py parse_bfchar to decode and retain oversized values during operations such as text extraction and consume excessive memory. This is a second follow-up to earlier /ToUnicode resource-consumption fixes and is limited to the remaining token-length path. This issue is fixed in version 6.18.1.
