I've followed [~tilman] proposal and added the expected prev position to the
set as well.
Now the loop protection works as expected and the infinite loop vanished
[~Han0nly] thanks for reporting this

> Hi, I found a crafted pdf that can trigger an infinite loop while parsing
> using PDFBOX. I have tested on the latest commit of PDFBOX on Github.
>
> This bug can be triggered by the following code.
> ```
> File ff = new File("path/to/the/sample");
> PDDocument document = Loader.loadPDF(ff);
> ```
>
> I found that the root cause of this infinite loop resides in the while-loop
> at line 321 of [COSParse.java|#L321].]. When parsing the provided PDF files,
> the variable $prev is never changed during this loop.
