Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions pypdf versions prior to 6.21.4

Description The library can enter an infinite loop when opening a specially crafted incomplete PDF file. This occurs when the standard cross-reference table reaches the end of the file without a trailer, causing the trailer search to repeatedly rewind to the same stream position instead of terminating. This behavior blocks the processing thread, leading to a denial of service.

Recommendations Update to version 6.21.4.
