      "value": "pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library. An attacker who uses a vulnerability present in versions 3.7.0 through 3.16.4 can craft a PDF which leads to an infinite loop. This infinite loop blocks the current process and can utilize a single core of the CPU by 100%. It does not affect memory usage. That is, for example, the case when the pypdf-user manipulates an incoming malicious PDF e.g. by merging it with another PDF or by adding annotations. The issue was fixed in version 3.17.0. As a workaround, apply the patch manually by modifying `pypdf/generic/_data_structures.py`."

Un atacante que utilice una vulnerabilidad presente en las versiones 3.7.0 a 3.16.4 puede crear un PDF que genere un bucle infinito. Este bucle infinito bloquea el proceso actual y puede utilizar un solo n\u00facleo de la CPU al 100%. No afecta el uso de la memoria. Ese es, por ejemplo, el caso cuando el usuario de pypdf manipula un PDF malicioso entrante, por ejemplo fusion\u00e1ndolo con otro PDF o agregando anotaciones. El problema se solucion\u00f3 en la versi\u00f3n 3.17.0. Como workaround, aplique el parche manualmente modificando `pypdf/generic/_data_structures.py`."
