getSeekableStream(InputStream, Integer maxStreamSize) already supported a size limit, but the no-limit overload getSeekableStream(InputStream) passed null, so no caller ever set one. A small input whose decoded content expands without bound (a decompression bomb) could therefore be written to a temporary file in full. Add an optional static cap SeekableInputStream.setMaxStreamSize and pass it from the no-limit overload, which is the path taken by decoded object streams and other non-seekable input. A stream exceeding the cap is rejected with a VeraPDFParserException instead of being written out. Default is null (no cap), so behaviour is unchanged unless a cap is set.

Handle Integer.MAX_VALUE without overflowing the read threshold.
If a caller sets the cap to Integer.MAX_VALUE, the overload computes maxStreamSize + 1 as a negative int. It then skips the initial read loop and selects InternalInputStream even for a short input. Keep the threshold calculation within range so a large cap preserves the normal stream-selection behavior.

Use a non-overflowing counter in createTempFile.
When setMaxStreamSize(Integer.MAX_VALUE) is active, maxStreamSize + 1 overflows and the one-argument conversion goes directly to InternalInputStream.createConcatenated. Its spill copy uses an int totalRead. After the input exceeds Integer.MAX_VALUE, that counter can wrap, so the cap check can be bypassed and the method can return instead of throwing VeraPDFParserException.
Fixing only the initial threshold does not fix this spill-copy counter.
Suggested fix
- int totalRead = alreadyRead.length;
+ long totalRead = alreadyRead.length;🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Summary
getSeekableStream(InputStream, Integer maxStreamSize)already supports a size limit for a stream that isspilled to a temporary file, but the no-limit overload
getSeekableStream(InputStream)always passesnull, so no caller ever sets one. A small input whose decoded content expands without bound (a"decompression bomb") can therefore be written to a temporary file in full.
This adds an opt-in cap and wires it into the no-limit overload, which is the path taken by decoded object
streams and other non-seekable input.
Changes
SeekableInputStream.setMaxStreamSize(int)/getMaxStreamSize()set an optional hard cap, in bytes, ona single spilled stream.
getSeekableStream(InputStream)now passes that cap to the existing size-limited overload. A streamexceeding the cap is rejected with a
VeraPDFParserExceptioninstead of being written out.Backward compatibility
The cap defaults to
null(no cap), so behaviour is unchanged unless a caller sets one. The change isindependent of #728 and can be merged in any order. Java 8 compatible, and all existing parser tests pass.
