Package(s):moodle CVE #(s):CVE-2009-1171
Created:April 2, 2009 Updated:June 25, 2009

From the National vulnerability database: 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.
