Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Poppler version 0.68.0

Description The issue is related to the Parser::getObj() function in the Poppler library for rendering PDF files, which can cause infinite recursion when processing a crafted file. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

Recommendations For Poppler version 0.68.0, consider disabling the Parser::getObj() function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the Poppler library to minimize the risk of exploitation.
