{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-119209","details":"pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. Prior to 6.21.3, pypdf can consume excessive memory while opening a crafted PDF containing cross-reference streams that declare very large entry counts. Highly compressible streams and /Prev chains can multiply the number of parsed entries across a document, while negative /Index counts can bypass the existing per-stream clamp. This issue is fixed in version 6.21.3.","modified":"2026-11-06T06:00:07.159377806Z","published":"2026-10-29T21:17:20.230Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-119209"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-119209"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"pypdf","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/pypdf?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.17.4-1","3.4.1-1","3.4.1-1+deb12u1","4.0.0-1","4.0.0-1~exp1","4.0.1-1","4.0.2-1","4.1.0-1","4.2.0-1","4.3.1-1","5.4.0-1","6.19.0-1","6.21.0-1","6.21.1-1","6.21.4-1","6.9.0-1","6.9.2-1","6.9.2-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-119209.json"}},{"package":{"name":"pypdf","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/pypdf?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["5.4.0-1","6.19.0-1","6.21.0-1","6.21.1-1","6.21.4-1","6.9.0-1","6.9.2-1","6.9.2-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-119209.json"}},{"package":{"name":"pypdf","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/pypdf?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.21.4-1"}]}],"versions":["5.4.0-1","6.19.0-1","6.21.0-1","6.21.1-1","6.9.0-1","6.9.2-1","6.9.2-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-119209.json"}},{"package":{"name":"pypdf2","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/pypdf2?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.12.1-3","2.12.1-3+deb12u1","2.12.1-4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-119209.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.2","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
