Tilman Hausherr edited comment on PDFBOX-5950 at 2/10/25 10:51 AM: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Your change would work by making another change: {code:java} private void mergeInto(COSDictionary src, COSDictionary dst, PDFCloneUtility cloner, Set<COSName> exclude) throws IOException { for (Map.Entry<COSName, COSBase> entry : src.entrySet()) { if (!exclude.contains(entry.getKey()) && !dst.containsKey(entry.getKey())) { //dst.setItem(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue()); dst.setItem(entry.getKey(), cloner.cloneForNewDocument(entry.getValue())); } } } {code} A similar change also in {{mergeRoleMap}} where {{setItem}} is called, despite the comment "clone not needed". (more related changes are needed but these are obvious) However I'm going to sleep at least one night over this. was (Author: tilman): Your change would work by making another change: {code:java} private void mergeInto(COSDictionary src, COSDictionary dst, PDFCloneUtility cloner, Set<COSName> exclude) throws IOException { for (Map.Entry<COSName, COSBase> entry : src.entrySet()) { if (!exclude.contains(entry.getKey()) && !dst.containsKey(entry.getKey())) { //dst.setItem(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue()); dst.setItem(entry.getKey(), cloner.cloneForNewDocument(entry.getValue())); } } } {code} (more related changes are needed but these are obvious) However I'm going to sleep at least one night over this. > pdfbox PDFMergerUtility Potential OOM issue > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-5950 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5950 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Utilities > Affects Versions: 2.0.32, 3.0.0 PDFBox > Environment: jdk11 > Reporter: asdpboy > Priority: Major > Attachments: after.png, before.png, oom.png > > > I have identified a potential bug in Apache PDFBox and would like to report > it.
