An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to large memory usage. This requires extracting text in layout mode with large character offsets.
This has been fixed in pypdf==6.12.0.
If developers are unable to immediately upgrade, they should consider applying the changes from PR #3790.
