{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-22690","details":"pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. Prior to version 6.6.0, pypdf has possible long runtimes for missing /Root object with large /Size values. An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to possibly long runtimes for actually invalid files. This can be achieved by omitting the /Root entry in the trailer, while using a rather large /Size value. Only the non-strict reading mode is affected. This issue has been patched in version 6.6.0.","modified":"2026-09-01T16:06:34.251138844Z","published":"2026-01-10T05:16:01.847Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-22690"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-22690"}],"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","6.9.0-1","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-2026-22690.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","6.9.0-1","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-2026-22690.json"}},{"package":{"name":"pypdf","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/pypdf?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.9.0-1"}]}],"versions":["5.4.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-22690.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-2026-22690.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L"}]}
