The infinite loop occurs on line 2256 in base/gdevp14.c, see the attached patch.
It's already fixed on 14.10.

Title:
  ghostscript hangs reading certain pdfs

Status in ghostscript package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On a few pdfs, gs hangs and uses 100% cpu forever.

  This could be used as a denial of service through imagemagick which
  uses ghostscript as a delegate, and commonly used in php etc... which
  is how I found the issue.

  The packages from utopic (9.14~dfsg-0ubuntu3) processes these pdfs
  correctly.

  To reproduce:
  gs WaddellAndReedJCL0814ThirdHProvSE.pdf
