[TIKA-1471] OOM with corrupt PDF file (original) (raw)

Type: Bug
Status: Closed
Priority: Blocker
Resolution: Done
Affects Version/s: 1.6
Fix Version/s: None
Environment:
Linux, JVM 1.8.0_25-b17, 64-bit

Use of PDFBox 1.8.6 by Tika 1.6 is causing OOM errors with corrupt PDF files, due to a bug in PDFBox, see ~~PDFBOX-2493~~. This makes Tika 1.6 unusable from inside a long-running webapp and I've had to revert to Tika 1.5. Although 1.5 also throws errors with the corrupt file it does not cause OOM errors.
