Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Liferay Portal 7.4.3.0 through 7.4.3.132 and several Liferay DXP releases (including 2024.Q1 through 2025.Q1 lines and 7.4 GA through update 92) are affected by a denial of service flaw in file upload handling. An authenticated user can upload a profile picture larger than the stated 300kb limit, and the extra data can significantly slow down the Liferay service. For Liferay DXP, upgrade to 2025.Q1.9 or 2024.Q1.17. Liferay Portal has no fixed version listed.
