Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Django versions 5.2 before 5.2.14 and 6.0 before 6.0.5 are affected. A remote attacker can send ASGI requests with a missing or understated Content-Length header to bypass the FILE_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE limit, causing large uploaded files to load into memory and degrading service. Upgrade to Django 5.2.14 or 6.0.5. Earlier unsupported series were not evaluated and may also be affected.
