Descriptions

Mattermost 6.2 and earlier fails to sufficiently process a specifically crafted GIF file when it is uploaded while drafting a post, which allows authenticated users to cause resource exhaustion while processing the file, resulting in server-side Denial of Service.

Mattermost versiones 6.2 y anteriores no procesan suficientemente un archivo GIF específicamente diseñado cuando es cargado mientras es redactada una publicación, lo que permite a usuarios autenticados causar el agotamiento de los recursos mientras se procesa el archivo, resultando en una denegación de servicio del lado del servidor
