An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to arbitrary image parsers being called. This requires loading an image which claims to use the /DCTDecode filter (JPEG data).
Users which do not have the optional Pillow dependency installed in their environment are not affected.
This has been fixed in pypdf==6.21.1.
If you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the changes from PR #4222.
