Impact
An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to an infinite loop if the PyPDF2 user wrote the following code:
from PyPDF2 import PdfFileReader, PdfFileWriter from PyPDF2.pdf import ContentStream reader = PdfFileReader("malicious.pdf", strict=False) for page in reader.pages: ContentStream(page.getContents(), reader)Patches
