Synopsis |
| 16 |
======== |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Multiple flaws in phpMyAdmin may lead to several XSS issues and local |
| 19 |
and remote file inclusion vulnerabilities. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Background |
| 22 |
========== |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the |
| 25 |
administration of MySQL over the web. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Affected packages |
| 28 |
================= |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 31 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
| 32 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 33 |
1 dev-db/phpmyadmin < 2.7.0_p1 >= 2.7.0_p1 |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Description |
| 36 |
=========== |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Stefan Esser from Hardened-PHP reported about multiple vulnerabilties |
| 39 |
found in phpMyAdmin. The $GLOBALS variable allows modifying the global |
| 40 |
variable import_blacklist to open phpMyAdmin to local and remote file |
| 41 |
inclusion, depending on your PHP version (CVE-2005-4079, PMASA-2005-9). |
| 42 |
Furthermore, it is also possible to conduct an XSS attack via the |
| 43 |
$HTTP_HOST variable and a local and remote file inclusion because the |
| 44 |
contents of the variable are under total control of the attacker |
| 45 |
(CVE-2005-3665, PMASA-2005-8). |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Impact |
| 48 |
====== |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
A remote attacker may exploit these vulnerabilities by sending |
| 51 |
malicious requests, causing the execution of arbitrary code with the |
| 52 |
rights of the user running the web server. The cross-site scripting |
| 53 |
issues allow a remote attacker to inject and execute malicious script |
| 54 |
code or to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, potentially |
| 55 |
allowing unauthorized access to phpMyAdmin. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Workaround |
| 58 |
========== |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Resolution |
| 63 |
========== |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
All phpMyAdmin users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
# emerge --sync |
| 68 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.7.0_p1" |
| 69 |
