An attacker who uses a vulnerability present in versions 3.7.0 through 3.16.4 can craft a PDF which leads to an infinite loop. This infinite loop blocks the current process and can utilize a single core of the CPU by 100%. It does not affect memory usage. That is, for example, the case when the pypdf-user manipulates an incoming malicious PDF e.g. by merging it with another PDF or by adding annotations. The issue was fixed in version 3.17.0. As a workaround, apply the patch manually by modifying `pypdf/generic/_data_structures.py`.","title":"Description of the CVE"},{"category":"legal_disclaimer","text":"CSAF 2.0 data is provided by SUSE under the Creative Commons License 4.0 with Attribution (CC-BY-4.0).","title":"Terms of use"}],"publisher":{"category":"vendor","contact_details":"https://www.suse.com/support/security/contact/","name":"SUSE Product Security Team","namespace":"https://www.suse.com/"},"references":[{"category":"external","summary":"CVE-2023-46250","url":"https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-46250"},{"category":"external","summary":"SUSE Security Ratings","url":"https://www.suse.com/support/security/rating/"},{"category":"external","summary":"SUSE Bug 1216774 for CVE-2023-46250","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/1216774"}],"title":"SUSE CVE CVE-2023-46250","tracking":{"current_release_date":"2025-02-16T06:03:28Z","generator":{"date":"2023-11-02T02:43:59Z","engine":{"name":"cve-database.git:bin/generate-csaf-vex.pl","version":"1"}},"id":"CVE-2023-46250","initial_release_date":"2023-11-02T02:43:59Z","revision_history":[{"date":"2023-11-02T02:43:59Z","number":"2","summary":"Current version"},{"date":"2025-01-01T01:52:10Z","number":"3","summary":"Current version"},{"date":"2025-02-14T06:10:19Z","number":"4","summary":"Current version"},{"date":"2025-02-16T06:03:28Z","number":"5","summary":"Current version"}],"status":"interim","version":"5"}}}
