Background:

phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the 
administration of MySQL over the Web. Currently it can create and drop 
databases, create/drop/alter tables, delete/edit/add fields, execute any 
SQL statement, manage keys on fields.

Affected versions:

Atleast 2.7.0-beta1, most likely others versions also.

Description:


Vuln 1:
Full Path Disclosures in the following files:

libraries/string.lib.php
libraries/storage_engines.lib.php
libraries/sqlparser.lib.php
libraries/sql_query_form.lib.php
libraries/select_theme.lib.php

libraries/relation_cleanup.lib.php
libraries/left_header.inc.php
libraries/import.lib.php

libraries/import/sql.php
libraries/fpdf/ufpdf.php
libraries/auth/cookie.auth.lib.php 
(libraries/auth/cookie.auth.lib.php?coming_from_common=true)




Vuln 2:
Http Response Splitting in libraries/header_http.inc.php

The script doesn't check for direct access. If register_globals
is on, it is possible for a remote attacker to cause http
response splitting.


Impact:

A remote attacker could exploit this to learn installation paths on
server.
The HTTP Response splitting vulnerability can lead to user compromise
amongst other things.





Status:
12.11.2005 Vulnerabilities found
