CVE-2017-9208
libqpdf.a in QPDF 6.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion and stack consumption) via a crafted PDF document, related to releaseResolved functions, aka qpdf-infiniteloop1.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.35%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
