Synopsis

========

 

Multiple errors in phpMyAdmin might allow the remote execution of

arbitrary code or a Cross-Site Scripting attack.

 

Background

==========

 

phpMyAdmin is a web-based management tool for MySQL databases.

 

Affected packages

=================

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected

-------------------------------------------------------------------

1 dev-db/phpmyadmin < 2.11.9.5 >= 2.11.9.5

 

Description

===========

 

Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in phpMyAdmin:

 

* Greg Ose discovered that the setup script does not sanitize input

properly, leading to the injection of arbitrary PHP code into the

configuration file (CVE-2009-1151).

 

* Manuel Lopez Gallego and Santiago Rodriguez Collazo reported that

data from cookies used in the "Export" page is not properly sanitized

(CVE-2009-1150).

 

Impact

======

 

A remote unauthorized attacker could exploit the first vulnerability to

execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running

phpMyAdmin and conduct Cross-Site Scripting attacks using the second

vulnerability.

 

Workaround

==========

 

Removing the "scripts/setup.php" file protects you from CVE-2009-1151.

 

Resolution

==========

 

All phpMyAdmin users should upgrade to the latest version:

 

# emerge --sync

# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.11.9.5"
