medium Nessus Plugin ID 82486

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in phpmyadmin :

libraries/select_lang.lib.php in phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.9, 4.2.x before 4.2.13.2, and 4.3.x before 4.3.11.1 includes invalid language values in unknown-language error responses that contain a CSRF token and may be sent with HTTP compression, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct a BREACH attack and determine this token via a series of crafted requests (CVE-2015-2206).

This upgrade provides the latest phpmyadmin version (4.2.13.2) to address this vulnerability.

Additionally, the phpseclib package has been upgraded to the 0.3.10 version.

Solution

Update the affected phpmyadmin and / or phpseclib packages.
