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" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2009-1150 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-1150 [ 2 ] CVE-2009-1151 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-1151 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200906-03.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
