Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Dompdf/dompdf versions before 3.1.6 are vulnerable to denial of service through resource exhaustion when rendering oversized images. An unauthenticated attacker who can submit HTML for PDF conversion can supply an image with very large dimensions, causing the PHP process to crash. Upgrade to Dompdf 3.1.6 or later.
