Detail

Synopsis

A vulnerability in phpMyAdmin may lead to information disclosure.

Background

phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL databases from a web-browser.

Description

Cezary Tomczak reported that an undefined UploadDir variable exposes an information disclosure vulnerability when running on shared hosts.

Impact

A remote attacker with CREATE TABLE permissions can exploit this vulnerability via a specially crafted HTTP POST request in order to read arbitrary files.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All phpMyAdmin users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.11.5.2"

Title: DSA-1557 phpmyadmin -- insufficient input sanitising
Description: Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpMyAdmin, an application to administrate MySQL over the WWW. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: Attackers with CREATE table permissions were allowed to read arbitrary files readable by the webserver via a crafted HTTP POST request. The PHP session data file stored the username and password of a logged in user, which in some setups can be read by a local user. Cross site scripting and SQL injection were possible by attackers that had permission to create cookies in the same cookie domain as phpMyAdmin runs in.
