Description

We received a PDF that has completly killed the Tomcat on a production application.

The symptoms are the same as PDFBOX-4392, but the PDF file is different.

AVERTISSEMENT: ICC profile is Perceptual, ignoring, treating as Display class

We test it on RedHat5 VM in develop and reproduce it with a sample test program that read the PDF, and create a small image. The program is looping and after the 4th reading it took 20Gb of memory and was killed by the OS to prevent the crash of the computer.

I've tried with version 2.0.15 and the problem still be the same.

We can test it with java -jar testPdfBox.jar crash_redhat.pdf
