FreeBSD : phpMyAdmin -- clickJacking protection can be bypassed (17326fd5-fcfb-11e2-9bb9-6805ca0b3d42)

high Nessus Plugin ID 69213

Synopsis

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

Description

The phpMyAdmin development team reports :

phpMyAdmin has a number of mechanisms to avoid a clickjacking attack, however these mechanisms either work only in modern browser versions, or can be bypassed.

'We have no solution for 3.5.x, due to the proposed solution requiring JavaScript. We don't want to introduce a dependency to JavaScript in the 3.5.x family.'

Solution

Update the affected package.
