An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to an infinite loop. This requires parsing the content stream of a page with a not terminated inline image, as done when extracting the page text for example. It only affects the ASCII85 and ASCIIHex filters.
This has been fixed in pypdf==6.14.2.
If you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the changes from PR #3892.
