CVE-2017-12595 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 1 source packages (qpdf), 5 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 5.
The tokenizer in QPDF 6.0.0 and 7.0.b1 is recursive for arrays and dictionaries, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a PDF document with a deep data structure, as demonstrated by a crash in QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal in libqpdf/QPDFObjectHandle.cc.
