MediaWiki is vulnerable to Denial Of Service (DoS). The vulnerability is due to a flaw in includes/specials/SpecialMovePage.php. If a user with the necessary rights to move the page opens Special:MovePage for a page with tens of thousands of subpages, then the page will exceed the maximum request time, leading to a denial of service.
