ChangesIndirect object count limit
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The new object-count limit protects bulk object enumeration, but concurrent updates to its global setting can cause a request to use an inconsistent limit. Snapshotting the setting once per check would make enforcement deterministic. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Enumerating a document's objects (getObjects, getObjectsByType, getObjectsMap) materialises one entry per cross-reference key. A small compressed input can declare an extreme number of objects through an object stream, so enumeration can exhaust the heap and fail with an OutOfMemoryError, which is not recoverable and affects the whole process. Add COSDocument.setMaxNumberOfObjects. When a bound is set, a document that declares more indirect objects than the bound is rejected up front with a VeraPDFParserException, before the objects are materialised. The check uses the cross-reference key count, so it costs nothing when no bound is set. Default is unbounded, so behaviour is unchanged unless a caller opts in.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Snapshot the configured limit for each check.
checkObjectCountLimit() reads maxNumberOfObjects at Line 163 and again at Line 165. If another thread calls setMaxNumberOfObjects(int) between those reads, one invocation can compare against a different limit than the one that passed the guard. volatile does not make the two reads atomic.
Read the field once into a local variable and use that value for the complete check.
Proposed fix
private void checkObjectCountLimit() {
- if (maxNumberOfObjects >= 0) {
+ final int max = maxNumberOfObjects;
+ if (max >= 0) {
int declared = this.xref.getAllKeys().size();
- if (declared > maxNumberOfObjects) {
+ if (declared > max) {
throw new VeraPDFParserException("Number of indirect objects (" + declared
- + ") exceeds the configured maximum of " + maxNumberOfObjects);
+ + ") exceeds the configured maximum of " + max);📝 Committable suggestion

Summary
Enumerating a document's objects (
getObjects,getObjectsByType,getObjectsMap) materialises one entryper cross-reference key. A small compressed input can declare an extreme number of objects through an
object stream, so enumeration can exhaust the heap and fail with an
OutOfMemoryError, which is notrecoverable and affects the whole process.
Changes
COSDocument.setMaxNumberOfObjects(int)/getMaxNumberOfObjects()set an optional upper bound on thenumber of indirect objects. When a bound is set, a document that declares more indirect objects than the
bound is rejected up front with a
VeraPDFParserException, before the objects are materialised. Thecheck uses the cross-reference key count, so it costs nothing when no bound is set.
Backward compatibility
Default is unbounded, so behaviour is unchanged unless a caller opts in. Java 8 compatible, and all
existing parser tests pass.
