Synopsis |

Background |
21 |
========== |
22 |
|
23 |

24 |

Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
Cedric Cochin has discovered multiple cross-site scripting |
38 |
vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin. These vulnerabilities can be exploited |
39 |
through the PmaAbsoluteUri parameter, the zero_rows parameter in |
40 |
read_dump.php, the confirm form, or an error message generated by the |
41 |
internal phpMyAdmin parser. |
42 |
|
43 |
Impact |
44 |
====== |
45 |
|
46 |
By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker can inject and |
47 |
execute malicious script code, potentially compromising the victim's |
48 |
browser. |
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-2.6.0_p3" |
