description

lopdf versions through 0.41.0 are affected when parsing PDF documents with excessively nested objects. An attacker who can provide a PDF to an application using lopdf can cause the application process to terminate, resulting in denial of service.

mitigation

Upgrade lopdf to version 0.42.0 or later. Until upgraded, do not process untrusted PDFs with affected versions.

fixed in 0.42.0
