The tokenizer in QPDF 6.0.0 and 7.0.b1 is recursive for arrays and dictionaries, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a PDF document with a deep data structure, as demonstrated by a crash in QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal in libqpdf/QPDFObjectHandle.cc.

CVE-2015-9252 QPDF vulnerabilities
Title: QPDF vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in QPDF.
It was discovered that QPDF incorrectly handled certain malformed files. A
remote attacker could use this issue to cause QPDF to crash, resulting in a
denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
Instructions: This update uses a new upstream release, which includes additional bug
fixes. In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary
changes.
