Memory Exhaustion via Malformed PSD File Upload

Summary

Mattermost versions 11.3.x <= 11.3.0, 11.2.x <= 11.2.2, 10.11.x <= 10.11.10 fail to bound memory allocation when processing PSD image files which allows an authenticated attacker to cause server memory exhaustion and denial of service via uploading a specially crafted PSD file.
