Synopsis |
| 19 |
======== |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
A SQL injection vulnerability has been discovered in phpMyAdmin. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Background |
| 24 |
========== |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
phpMyAdmin is a free web-based database administration tool. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Affected packages |
| 29 |
================= |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 32 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
| 33 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 34 |
1 dev-db/phpmyadmin < 2.11.5 >= 2.11.5 |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Description |
| 37 |
=========== |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Richard Cunningham reported that phpMyAdmin uses the $_REQUEST variable |
| 40 |
of $_GET and $_POST as a source for its parameters. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Impact |
| 43 |
====== |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
An attacker could entice a user to visit a malicious web application |
| 46 |
that sets an "sql_query" cookie and is hosted on the same domain as |
| 47 |
phpMyAdmin, and thereby conduct SQL injection attacks with the |
| 48 |
privileges of the user authenticating in phpMyAdmin afterwards. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Workaround |
| 51 |
========== |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Resolution |
| 56 |
========== |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
All phpMyAdmin users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
# emerge --sync |
| 61 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.11.5" |
| 62 |
|
