Description
A denial-of-service vulnerability was identified in Moodle’s TeX formula editor. When rendering TeX content using mimetex, insufficient execution time limits could allow specially crafted formulas to consume excessive server resources. An authenticated user could abuse this behavior to degrade performance or cause service interruption.
Analysis
Moodle's TeX formula editor fails to enforce adequate execution time limits when processing mimetex content, enabling authenticated users to craft malicious formulas that exhaust server resources. This resource exhaustion vulnerability can degrade application performance or trigger denial-of-service conditions without requiring user interaction or privilege escalation.
