Ubuntu Security Notice 6200-1 - It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled the "-authenticate" option for password-protected PDF files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to inject additional shell commands and perform arbitrary code execution. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain values when processing PDF files. If a user or automated system using ImageMagick were tricked into opening a specially crafted PDF file, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
Debian Linux Security Advisory 5446-1 - It was discovered that Ghostscript, the GPL PostScript/PDF interpreter, does not properly handle permission validation for pipe devices, which could result in the execution of arbitrary commands if malformed document files are processed.

Researchers have pulled back the curtain on an updated version of an Apple macOS malware called Rustbucket that comes with improved capabilities to establish persistence and avoid detection by security software. "This variant of Rustbucket, a malware family that targets macOS systems, adds persistence capabilities not previously observed," Elastic Security Labs researchers said in a report
### 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 if the user extracted metadata from such a malformed PDF. ### Patches The issue was fixed with https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf/pull/1331 ### Workarounds If you cannot update your version of `PyPDF2` (preferably to `pypdf>3.1.0` as PyPDF2 is deprecated), you should modify `PyPDF2/generic/_data_structures.py::read_object`. Replace: ```python else: # number object OR indirect reference peek = stream.read(20) stream.seek(-len(peek), 1) # reset to start if IndirectPattern.match(peek) is not None: return IndirectObject.read_from_stream(stream, pdf) else: return NumberObject.read_from_stream(stream) ``` by ```python elif tok in b"0123456789+-.": # numb...
### Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to unexpected long runtime. This quadratic runtime blocks the current process and can utilize a single core of the CPU by 100%. It does not affect memory usage. ### Patches https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf/pull/808 ### Workarounds _Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?_ ### References * [PyPDF2 PR #808](https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf/pull/808) * [PyPDF2 Issue #582](https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf/issues/582)
