description

SemanticMediaWiki versions 2.5.0 through before 7.3.1 are affected by uncontrolled resource consumption in recurring-event processing. A low-privilege editor who can save pages can cause excessive CPU, memory, and database use by creating recurring events without an end date and with an excessive limit.

mitigation

Upgrade SemanticMediaWiki to version 7.3.1 or later. Until upgraded, restrict page-editing access to trusted users and review recurring-event pages for unbounded event definitions.

fixed in 7.3.1
