Descriptions

Mattermost fails to properly limit the characters allowed in different fields of a block in Mattermost Boards allowing a attacker to consume excessive resources, possibly leading to Denial of Service, by patching the field of a block using a specially crafted string.

Mattermost no logra limitar adecuadamente los caracteres permitidos en diferentes campos de un bloque en Mattermost Boards, lo que permite a un atacante consumir recursos excesivos, lo que posiblemente lleve a una Denegación de Servicio, al parchear el campo de un bloque usando una cadena especialmente manipulada.
