---------------------------------------
Summary: Infiniteloop BaseParser.java:1010
Key: PDFBOX-1796
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1796
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Parsing
Affects Versions: 1.8.3
Reporter: Manfred Schauer
infinite loop at
org.apache.pdfbox.pdfparser.BaseParser.parseCOSHexString(BaseParser.java:1010)
private final COSString parseCOSHexString() throws IOException
{
...
// read till the closing bracket was found
do
{
c = pdfSource.read();
} while ( c != '>' );
...
if pdfSource.read() returns EOF, the loop never terminates;
Testcase:
PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load (new FileInputStream("..."));
2 real world pdf-files that cause the loop could be attached; do not know if
their PDF is completely valid, but at least they are displayed via Preview in
MacOSX.
