Package : phpmyadmin
Vulnerability : several
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2005-2869 CVE-2005-3300 CVE-2005-3301
BugTraq ID : 15169
Debian Bug : 328501 335306 335513
Several cross-site scripting vulnerabilities have been discovered in
phpmyadmin, a set of PHP-scripts to administrate MySQL over the WWW.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the
following problems:
CAN-2005-2869
Andreas Kerber and Michal Cihar discovered several cross-site
scripting vulnerabilities in the error page and in the cookie
login.
CVE-2005-3300
Stefan Esser discovered missing safety checks in grab_globals.php
that could allow an attacker to induce phpmyadmin to include an
arbitrary local file.
CVE-2005-3301
Tobias Klein discovered several cross-site scripting
vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to inject arbitrary
HTML or client-side scripting.
The version in the old stable distribution (woody) has probably its
own flaws and is not easily fixable without a full audit and patch
session. The easier way is to upgrade it from woody to sarge.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.6.2-3sarge1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.6.4-pl1-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your phpmyadmin package.
