Summary		(es) pypdf es una biblioteca PDF de Python puro, gratuita y de código abierto. Antes de la versión 6.14.1, un atacante puede crear un PDF con un flujo de contenido de página que contenga una imagen en línea no terminada, lo que provoca un bucle infinito durante la detección del marcador de fin de imagen en línea, como al extraer texto de la página. Este problema se solucionó en la versión 6.14.1.
