Several vulnerabilities have been fixed in phpMyAdmin, the web-based MySQL administration interface.
CVE-2016-6606
Two issues were found affecting the way cookies are stored.
The decryption of the username/password is vulnerable to a padding oracle attack.
This can allow an attacker who has access to a user's browser cookie file to
decrypt the username and password.
A vulnerability was found where the same initialization vector is used to hash
the username and password stored in the phpMyAdmin cookie. If a user has the
same password as their username, an attacker who examines the browser cookie
can see that they are the same, but the attacker can not directly decode these
values from the cookie as it is still hashed.
CVE-2020-26934
A vulnerability was discovered where an attacker can cause an XSS
attack through the transformation feature.
If an attacker sends a crafted link to the victim with the malicious
JavaScript, when the victim clicks on the link, the JavaScript will run
and complete the instructions made by the attacker.
CVE-2020-26935
An SQL injection vulnerability was discovered in how phpMyAdmin
processes SQL statements in the search feature. An attacker could use
this flaw to inject malicious SQL in to a query.
For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 4:4.2.12-2+deb8u10.
We recommend that you upgrade your phpmyadmin packages.
