description
pypdf versions earlier than 6.18.0 may consume excessive time while parsing malformed PDF object metadata, which can make applications unavailable. Exploitation requires an application to process an attacker-controlled PDF.
mitigation
Upgrade pypdf to >= 6.18.0 or later.
fixed in >= 6.18.0
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
