The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6176-1 advisory.
ContentStream._readInlineImage
only terminates when it finds the EI
token, but never actually checks if the stream has already ended. This issue has been resolved in version 1.27.5
. Users unable to upgrade should validate and PDFs prior to iterating over their content stream.Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

"The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a
vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6176-1 advisory.
- PyPDF2 is an open source python PDF library capable of splitting, merging, cropping, and transforming the
pages of PDF files. In versions prior to 1.27.5 an attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF
which leads to an infinite loop if the PyPDF2 if the code attempts to get the content stream. The reason
is that the last while-loop in `ContentStream._readInlineImage` only terminates when it finds the `EI`
token, but never actually checks if the stream has already ended. This issue has been resolved in version
`1.27.5`. Users unable to upgrade should validate and PDFs prior to iterating over their content stream.
