Many thanks to Thibaud Colas for reporting this issue. For further details, please see [the CVE-2023-28836 security advisory](https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/security/advisories/GHSA-5286-f2rf-35c2).


### CVE-2023-28837: Denial-of-service via memory exhaustion when uploading large files

This release addresses a memory exhaustion bug in Wagtail's handling of uploaded images and documents. For both images and documents, files are loaded into memory during upload for additional processing. A user with access to upload images or documents through the Wagtail admin interface could upload a file so large that it results in a crash or denial of service.

The vulnerability is not exploitable by an ordinary site visitor without access to the Wagtail admin. It can only be exploited by admin users with permission to upload images or documents.

Many thanks to Jake Howard for reporting this issue. For further details, please see [the CVE-2023-28837 security advisory](https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/security/advisories/GHSA-33pv-vcgh-jfg9).
