Mattermost versions 11.7.x <= 11.7.2, 11.6.x <= 11.6.4, 10.11.x <= 10.11.19 fail to validate the length and content of message attachment field values, which allows an authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service for all users in a channel via a post containing a specially crafted payload that triggers catastrophic backtracking in the client-side markdown parser..
