In PoDoFo 0.9.5, there is an integer overflow in the PdfObjectStreamParserObject::ReadObjectsFromStream function (base/PdfObjectStreamParserObject.cpp). Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial-of-service via a crafted pdf file.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:3550-1 advisory.
