**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
PoDoFo version 0.9.6
**Description**
The issue is related to a stack-based buffer overflow in the `src/base/PdfDictionary.cpp` component, specifically at line 65. This allows attackers to cause a denial of service. The vulnerability is associated with a buffer overflow, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to disrupt service.
**Recommendations**
For PoDoFo version 0.9.6, consider applying a patch or fix that addresses the buffer overflow issue in the `src/base/PdfDictionary.cpp` component to prevent denial of service attacks. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the vulnerable component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
