Detail

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in phpmyadmin:

error.php in PhpMyAdmin 3.3.8.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted BBcode tag containing @ characters, as demonstrated using [a@url@page] (CVE-2010-4480).

phpMyAdmin before 3.4.0-beta1 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and obtain sensitive information via a direct request to phpinfo.php, which calls the phpinfo function (CVE-2010-4481).

This upgrade provides the latest phpmyadmin version for MES5 (3.3.9) and patches the version for CS4 to address these vulnerabilities.

Id Description
69932 phpMyAdmin phpinfo.php Direct Request Authentication Bypass

phpMyAdmin contains a flaw related to the phpinfo function .The issue is triggered when a remote attacker sends a direct request to the phpinfo.php script. This may allow an attacker to bypass authentication and obtain sensitive information.
69684 PhpMyAdmin error.php BBcode Tag XSS

PhpMyAdmin contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate BBcode tags upon submission to the 'error.php' script. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
