An issue in Artifex mupdf 1.25.6, 1.25.5 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via an infinite recursion in the mutool clean utility. When processing a crafted PDF file containing cyclic /Next references in the outline structure, the strip_outline() function enters infinite recursion
Weakness
The product does not properly control the amount of recursion that takes place, consuming excessive resources, such as allocated memory or the program stack.
