phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration
|
|
of MySQL databased over the Web.

<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
One component of the phpMyAdmin software package (export.php) does not
|
|
properly verify input that is passed to it from a remote user. Since the
|
|
input is used to include other files, it is possible to launch a directory
|
|
traversal attack.
|
|
</p>

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Private information could be gleaned from the remote server if an attacker
|
|
uses a malformed URL such as http://phpmyadmin.example.com/export.php?what=../../../[existing_file]
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In this scenario, the script does not sanitize the "what" argument passed
|
|
to it, allowing directory traversal attacks to take place, disclosing
|
|
the contents of files if the file is readable as the web-server user.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The workaround is to either patch the export.php file using the
|
|
referenced CVS patch or upgrade the software via Portage.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Users are encouraged to upgrade to phpMyAdmin-2.5.6_rc1:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge sync
|
|
# emerge -pv ">=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.5.6_rc1"
|
|
# emerge ">=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.5.6_rc1"
|
|
# emerge clean</code>
