<title>phpMyAdmin: Local file inclusion and XSS vulnerabilities</title>
<synopsis>
phpMyAdmin contains a local file inclusion vulnerability that may lead to
the execution of arbitrary code, along with several cross-site scripting
issues.
</synopsis>

<access>local and remote</access>
<affected>
<package name="dev-db/phpmyadmin" auto="yes" arch="*">

<background>
<p>
phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the
administration of MySQL over the web.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Stefan Esser discovered that by calling certain PHP files directly, it
was possible to workaround the grab_globals.lib.php security model and
overwrite the $cfg configuration array. Systems running PHP in safe
mode are not affected. Futhermore, Tobias Klein reported several
cross-site-scripting issues resulting from insufficient user input
sanitizing.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A local attacker may exploit this vulnerability by sending malicious
requests, causing the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of
the user running the web server. Furthermore, the cross-site scripting
issues give a remote attacker the ability to inject and execute
malicious script code or to steal cookie-based authentication
credentials, potentially compromising the victim's browser.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround for all those issues at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All phpMyAdmin users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.6.4_p3&quot;</code>
</resolution>
