GHSA-wjcc-cq79-p63f: Possible Infinite Loop when PdfWriter(clone_from) is used with a PDF

### Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability 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. ### Patches The issue was fixed with #2264 ### Workarounds If you cannot update your version of pypdf, you should modify `pypdf/generic/_data_structures.py` just like #2264 did.

CVE-2023-46250: SEC: Infinite recursion when using PdfWriter(clone_from=reader) (#2264) · py-pdf/pypdf@9b23ac3

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`.
