Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpMyAdmin, the worst
of which may allow for remote code execution.
Background
==========
phpMyAdmin is a web-based management tool for MySQL databases.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-db/phpmyadmin < 2.11.9.4 >= 2.11.9.4
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in phpMyAdmin:
* libraries/database_interface.lib.php in phpMyAdmin allows remote
authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a request to
server_databases.php with a sort_by parameter containing PHP
sequences, which are processed by create_function (CVE-2008-4096).
* Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in pmd_pdf.php allows
remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the db
parameter, a different vector than CVE-2006-6942 and CVE-2007-5977
(CVE-2008-4775).
* Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in phpMyAdmin
allows remote authenticated attackers to perform unauthorized actions
as the administrator via a link or IMG tag to tbl_structure.php with
a modified table parameter. NOTE: this can be leveraged to conduct
SQL injection attacks and execute arbitrary code (CVE-2008-5621).
* Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in
phpMyAdmin allow remote attackers to conduct SQL injection attacks
via unknown vectors related to the table parameter, a different
vector than CVE-2008-5621 (CVE-2008-5622).
Impact
======
A remote attacker may execute arbitrary code with the rights of the
webserver, inject and execute SQL with the rights of phpMyAdmin or
conduct XSS attacks against other users.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All phpMyAdmin users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.11.9.4"
