Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-08-05 15:23 – Updated: 2025-08-06 14:31

Summary

FPDI allows Memory Exhaustion (OOM) in PDF Parser which leads to Denial of Service

Details

Impact

This is a significant Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability. Any application that uses FPDI to process user-supplied PDF files is at risk. An attacker can upload a small, malicious PDF file that will cause the server-side script to crash due to memory exhaustion. Repeated attacks can lead to sustained service unavailability.

Patches

Fixed as of version 2.6.4

Workarounds

No.

Severity

6.0 (Medium)

CVE-2025-54869 (GCVE-0-2025-54869)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-08-05 23:34 – Updated: 2025-08-07 14:02

Title

FPDI is Vulnerable to Memory Exhaustion (OOM) through its PDF Parser

Summary

FPDI is a collection of PHP classes that facilitate reading pages from existing PDF documents and using them as templates in FPDF. In versions 2.6.2 and below, any application that uses FPDI to process user-supplied PDF files is at risk, causing a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability. An attacker can upload a small, malicious PDF file that will cause the server-side script to crash due to memory exhaustion. Repeated attacks can lead to sustained service unavailability. This issue is fixed in version 2.6.3.

Severity
