'not enough image data' exception from PIL

[brianpow]

I am trying to extract images from pdf files, however occasionally it gives 'not enough image data' exception from PIL when handling certain pdf. The files look correct in Atril Document Viewer and works if using pdfimages from poppler-utils

Environment

Which environment were you using when you encountered the problem?

$ python -m platform
Linux-6.5.0-kali3-amd64-x86_64-with-glibc2.37

$ python -c "import pypdf;print(pypdf._debug_versions)"
pypdf==3.17.2, crypt_provider=('cryptography', '38.0.4'), PIL=10.0.0

Code + PDF

This is a minimal, complete example that shows the issue:

from pypdf import PdfReader
import sys

for filename in sys.argv[1:]:
    reader = PdfReader(filename)
    for i, page in enumerate(reader.pages):
        for j, image in enumerate(page.images):
            print("Writing %d-%d: %s (%d)..." % (i, j, image.name, len(image.data)))            
            with open(image.name, "wb") as fp:
                fp.write(image.data)

Share here the PDF file(s) that cause the issue. The smaller they are, the better. Let us know if we may add them to our tests!
