Summary

Cherry-picked from upstream ledongthuc/pdf, which already fixed the same issue this PR was originally targeting (MM-70600):

  • 601f614 — readArray now breaks on io.EOF (previously only broke on nil/], matching readDict's existing guard).
  • 8b43568 — Interpret now reads an array /Contents as a single concatenated stream via io.MultiReader, instead of lexing each stream separately, so tokens (e.g. an array literal for TJ) split across streams parse correctly.

The second commit conflicted with our ps.go (MM-69725 added context.Context cancellation to Interpret). Resolved by keeping upstream's single-reader restructuring while preserving our b.ctx wiring and <-ctx.Done() poll.

Both commits' test files (lex_test.go, ps_test.go) were adapted to compile against this fork's GetPlainText(ctx) signature, which doesn't exist upstream.

Picking the upstream commits as-is keeps this fork compatible with future upstream merges instead of diverging with a locally-authored fix.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Interpret now reads content streams through one shared buffer. The lexer advances between streams and handles truncated hex strings and arrays. Cancellation errors are returned, and readCmap now handles errors from Interpret.

Changes

PDF content-stream parsing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Lexer stream boundaries and truncated input
lex.go, lex_test.go
The lexer advances to the next content stream at token boundaries. Unterminated hex strings stop at EOF, and readArray returns a partial array when it encounters an unhandled keyword. Tests cover truncated arrays and hex strings.
Content-stream interpretation
ps.go, ps_test.go
Interpret uses one buffer for single or array-backed streams and preserves parser state across streams. It returns cancellation errors and re-panics other values. Tests cover split operands and dictionaries, malformed stream tails, empty contents, and cancellation.
CMap error handling
page.go
readCmap returns nil when Interpret reports an error.

readToken returns io.EOF as a token value once the input is exhausted,
but readArray only broke out of its loop on nil or keyword("]"). On a
PDF whose content stream is truncated inside an unterminated array, the
loop unread the io.EOF token, read it back as an object, and appended
it to the array forever, allocating memory without bound (~7GB of heap
in 5 seconds observed on a real-world malformed PDF) and hanging every
text-extraction entry point (GetPlainText, Page.Content,
Page.GetTextByRow).

readDict already guards against io.EOF; give readArray the same guard.

Add a regression test that synthesizes a minimal single-page PDF whose
content stream ends inside an unterminated array and verifies that
GetPlainText returns instead of spinning. The test times out against
the previous code and passes with the fix.

Comment thread ps.go Outdated
Interpret concatenated an array /Contents via io.MultiReader without any
separator between streams. Per the PDF spec, streams in a content-stream
array must be treated as if joined with a space, since a token can't span
two streams; a stream ending in a partial numeric token immediately
followed by another stream starting with digits (e.g. "10" then "20 m")
would otherwise merge into a single token ("1020").

Also from upstream, but we make it a bit worse I think -- this eagerly creates every stream reader before parsing starts or the context is checked. Reader() initializes filters immediately, so repeated filtered stream references can retain roughly 2 MiB of predictor buffers per entry and will OOM even for an already-canceled request. The eager construction comes from upstream. But now we also bypasses the cancellation guarantee added to Interpret.

Thanks! The new check catches an already-canceled context, but with a live request we still build and retain every reader before parsing starts. iiuc, repeated predictor streams can pile up about 2 MiB each before the first token or output-limit cancellation. Also, the new test only covers one stream with the context canceled before Interpret starts, so it misses this case.

Comment thread lex_test.go Outdated
An empty /Contents array made the reader-slice capacity 2*0-1 == -1,
which panics in make(). Clamp the capacity to zero.
strm.Index(i).Reader() runs that stream's decode filters immediately
(e.g. Predictor allocates ~2MiB), and it ran for every stream up front
regardless of cancellation. Check ctx.Done() before each one so a
canceled context stops before paying that cost.
…on test

TestUnterminatedArrayTerminates discarded GetPlainText's return values,
so an unrelated parse error could pass as normal EOF termination. Also
used context.Background(), so on a regression the background goroutine
would keep running past the test's own 5s failsafe instead of being
cancelled.

Capture the error and use context.WithTimeout so cancellation actually
stops the goroutine on a regression, and keep the deadline (2s) shorter
than the failsafe (5s) so cancellation reliably wins the race and the
failure reports the real cause instead of a generic timeout.

Comment thread ps.go Outdated
…daries

Interpret built every stream's reader up front, so a live request with
repeated predictor streams allocated ~2 MiB per stream before the first
token, and output-limit cancellation could never fire in time. It also
joined the streams with a space, which let comments, strings and unclosed
arrays at the end of one stream swallow the next one.

The buffer now holds the /Contents array and nextStream switches to the
next stream only when the current one hits EOF, so at most one decoder is
alive at a time. Each stream ends in its own EOF, so no token spans two
streams as the PDF spec requires; the Interpret loop, readArray and
readDict continue into the next stream so split operands such as TJ
arrays still parse. readArray ends an unclosed array at the first
operator instead of panicking.

Tests share one PDF builder and cover lazy opening, pre-canceled contexts
and malformed stream boundaries. Three tests fail on purpose, and on
master as well, to track pre-existing bugs: null or dangling /Contents
entries, reload panicking on cancel mid-token, and the unterminated hex
string hang.
…cked bugs

nextStream is now called only from readToken, between tokens, so every
reader above it (operands, arrays, dict keys and values) continues into
the next /Contents stream while each token still ends at its own stream's
EOF. A dict split between a key and its value now parses as one dict. It
also skips array entries that aren't streams: null entries and references
to missing objects resolve to null, which the spec treats as absent
content.

Interpret returns a cancellation that the lexer raises mid-token as
ctx.Err() instead of panicking, and readCmap drops a partially built
cmap when Interpret returns an error. readHexString stops at EOF instead
of skipping the whitespace readByte reports there forever.

The three tests that tracked these bugs now pass, and a new test covers
dicts split across streams. Cleanup: remove the unused seqReader and a
commented-out panic, replace the loop's ctx select with ctx.Err(), move
the keyword switch's default case last, and reduce
TestUnterminatedArrayTerminates to a plainText call.

Sorry Filipe , looks like there's another small issue because of our adding of context: upstream already walks every /Contents entry, but our Interpret has a cancellable context. This loop can resolve a long run of indirect null entries without observing that context, reparsing each reference along the way. A crafted PDF can keep extraction busy after the caller cancels. We did have a per-entry context check before -- we should keep it, I think

@cpoile Geez, you are right. Thought I got it covered downstream by Interpret and somehow ignored there's a loop here. 👍 Also checking after processing the final item on the loop.
