Summary
pypdf possibly loops infinitely when reading DCT inline images without EOF marker
Details

Impact

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 which has an inline image using the DCTDecode filter.

Patches

This has been fixed in pypdf==6.1.3.

Workarounds

If you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the changes from PR #3501.
