Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Secunia reports :

Stefan Esser has reported a vulnerability in phpMyAdmin, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks, disclose sensitive information, and compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the register_globals emulation layer in 'grab_globals.php' where the 'import_blacklist' variable is not properly protected from being overwritten. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site, and include arbitrary files from external and local resources.

Solution

Update the affected package.
