Background ========== phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL databases from a web-browser. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-db/phpmyadmin < 2.6.1_rc1 >= 2.6.1_rc1 Description =========== Nicolas Gregoire (exaprobe.com) has discovered two vulnerabilities that exist only on a webserver where PHP safe_mode is off. These vulnerabilities could lead to command execution or file disclosure. Impact ====== On a system where external MIME-based transformations are enabled, an attacker can insert offensive values in MySQL, which would start a shell when the data is browsed. On a system where the UploadDir is enabled, read_dump.php could use the unsanitized sql_localfile variable to disclose a file. Workaround ========== You can temporarily enable PHP safe_mode or disable external MIME-based transformation AND disable the UploadDir. But instead, we strongly advise to update your version to 2.6.1_rc1. Resolution ========== All phpMyAdmin users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.6.1_rc1" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2004-1147 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-1147 [ 2 ] CAN-2004-1148 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-1148 [ 3 ] PHPMyAdmin advisory: PMASA-2004-4 http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/security.php?issue=PMASA-2004-4 [ 4 ] Exaprobe.com advisory: esa-2004-1213 http://www.exaprobe.com/labs/advisories/esa-2004-1213.html Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200412-19.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.
