Descriptions

The TeX filter in Moodle 1.6 before 1.6.9+, 1.7 before 1.7.7+, 1.8 before 1.8.9, and 1.9 before 1.9.5 allows user-assisted attackers to read arbitrary files via an input command in a "$$" sequence, which causes LaTeX to include the contents of the file.

El filtro TeX en Moodle v1.6 anteriores a v1.6.9+, v1.7 anteriores a v1.7.7+, v1.8 anteriores a v1.8.9, y v1.9 anteriores a v1.9.5 permite a atacantes con la intervención del usuario leer ficheros de su elección mediante un comando "input" en secuencia con "$$", provocando que LaTeX incluya el contenido del fichero.
