Description
The issue is related to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition that occurs when a maliciously crafted PDF file is supplied to be appended to another.

The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not available. There is no information about real-world incidents where this issue was exploited.

For muhammara versions prior to 2.6.0, update to version 2.6.0 or later to resolve the issue.
For hummus, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
As a temporary workaround for both packages, do not process files from untrusted sources.
