An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. A user can specially craft a symlink on disk, to a file which phpMyAdmin is permitted to read but the user is not, which phpMyAdmin will then expose to the user. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.4), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.8), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.17) are affected.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. A user can specially craft a symlink on disk, to a file which     phpMyAdmin is permitted to read but the user is not, which phpMyAdmin will then expose to the user. All     4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.4), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.8), and 4.0.x versions (prior to     4.0.10.17) are affected. (CVE-2016-6613)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. A user can specially craft a symlink on disk, to a file which
    phpMyAdmin is permitted to read but the user is not, which phpMyAdmin will then expose to the user. All
    4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.4), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.8), and 4.0.x versions (prior to
    4.0.10.17) are affected. (CVE-2016-6613)

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin involving the $cfg['ArbitraryServerRegexp'] configuration directive.
    An attacker could reuse certain cookie values in a way of bypassing the servers defined by
    ArbitraryServerRegexp. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.4), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.8), and 4.0.x
    versions (prior to 4.0.10.17) are affected. (CVE-2016-6629)

  - An issue was discovered in cookie encryption in phpMyAdmin. The decryption of the username/password is
    vulnerable to a padding oracle attack. This can allow an attacker who has access to a user's browser
    cookie file to decrypt the username and password. Furthermore, the same initialization vector (IV) is used
    to hash the username and password stored in the phpMyAdmin cookie. If a user has the same password as
    their username, an attacker who examines the browser cookie can see that they are the same - but the
    attacker can not directly decode these values from the cookie as it is still hashed. All 4.6.x versions
    (prior to 4.6.4), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.8), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.17) are
    affected. (CVE-2016-6606)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201701-32 (phpMyAdmin: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpMyAdmin. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A authenticated remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to       execute arbitrary PHP Code, inject SQL code, or to conduct Cross-Site       Scripting attacks.
    In certain configurations, an unauthenticated remote attacker could       cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Phpmyadmin, a web administration tool for MySQL, had several vulnerabilities reported.

CVE-2016-6606

A pair of vulnerabilities were found affecting the way cookies are stored.

The decryption of the username/password is vulnerable to a padding oracle attack. The can allow an attacker who has access to a user's browser cookie file to decrypt the username and password.

A vulnerability was found where the same initialization vector is used to hash the username and password stored in the phpMyAdmin cookie. If a user has the same password as their username, an attacker who examines the browser cookie can see that they are the same &mdash; but the attacker can not directly decode these values from the cookie as it is still hashed.

CVE-2016-6607

Cross site scripting vulnerability in the replication feature

CVE-2016-6609

A specially crafted database name could be used to run arbitrary PHP commands through the array export feature.

CVE-2016-6611

A specially crafted database and/or table name can be used to trigger a SQL injection attack through the SQL export functionality.

CVE-2016-6612

A user can exploit the LOAD LOCAL INFILE functionality to expose files on the server to the database system.

CVE-2016-6613

A user can specially craft a symlink on disk, to a file which phpMyAdmin is permitted to read but the user is not, which phpMyAdmin will then expose to the user.

CVE-2016-6614

A vulnerability was reported with the %u username replacement functionality of the SaveDir and UploadDir features. When the username substitution is configured, a specially crafted user name can be used to circumvent restrictions to traverse the file system.

CVE-2016-6620

A vulnerability was reported where some data is passed to the PHP unserialize() function without verification that it's valid serialized data. Due to how the PHP function operates, unserialization can result in code being loaded and executed due to object instantiation and autoloading, and a malicious user may be able to exploit this.
Therefore, a malicious user may be able to manipulate the stored data in a way to exploit this weakness.

CVE-2016-6622

An unauthenticated user is able to execute a denial of service attack by forcing persistent connections when phpMyAdmin is running with $cfg['AllowArbitraryServer']=true;.

CVE-2016-6623

A malicious authorized user can cause a denial of service attack on a server by passing large values to a loop.

CVE-2016-6624

A vulnerability was discovered where, under certain circumstances, it may be possible to circumvent the phpMyAdmin IP-based authentication rules. When phpMyAdmin is used with IPv6 in a proxy server environment, and the proxy server is in the allowed range but the attacking computer is not allowed, this vulnerability can allow the attacking computer to connect despite the IP rules.

CVE-2016-6630

An authenticated user can trigger a denial of service attack by entering a very long password at the change password dialog.

CVE-2016-6631

A vulnerability was discovered where a user can execute a remote code execution attack against a server when phpMyAdmin is being run as a CGI application. Under certain server configurations, a user can pass a query string which is executed as a command-line argument by shell scripts.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 3.4.11.1-2+deb7u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your phpmyadmin packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Versions of phpMyAdmin 4.0.10.x prior to 4.0.10.17, 4.4.15.x prior to 4.4.15.8, and 4.6.x prior to 4.6.4 are unpatched, and therefore affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - A flaw exists that may lead to the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information.  The issue is due to the program using requests that contain an algorithm that is vulnerable to padding oracle attacks.  This may allow a remote attacker to decode information without knowledge of the encryption key and gain access to a user's potentially sensitive personal information.
 - A flaw exists that allows a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.  This flaw exists because the 'libraries/replication_gui.lib.php' script does not validate input to the 'username' and 'hostname' parameters before returning it to users.  This may allow a remote attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - A flaw exists that allows an XSS attack. vThis flaw exists because the database privilege check functionality does not validate input to database names before returning it to users.  This may allow a remote attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - A flaw exists that allows an XSS attack.  This flaw exists because the remove partitioning functionality does not validate input before returning it to users.  This may allow a remote attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - A flaw exists in the 'libraries/plugins/export/ExportPhparray.class.php' script that is triggered as input passed via database names is not properly sanitized.  This may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands.
 - A flaw exists in 'libraries/plugin_interface.lib.php' that is triggered during the handling of errors when creating non-existent classes, which may allow a remote attacker to disclose the software's installation path.  While such information is relatively low risk, it is often useful in carrying out additional, more focused attacks.
 - A flaw exists that may allow carrying out an SQL injection attack.  The issue is due to the 'libraries/plugins/export/ExportSql.class.php' script not properly sanitizing input to database and table names.  This may allow a remote attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, allowing for the manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary data.
 - A flaw exists in the 'LOAD LOCAL INFILE' functionality that may allow an authenticated remote attacker to expose files on the server to the database system.
 - A flaw exists as the program creates temporary files insecurely.  It is possible for a local attacker to use a symlink attack against a file to cause the program to unexpectedly disclose arbitrary files.
 - A flaw exists that allows traversing outside of a restricted path.  The issue is due to the 'libraries/Util.class.php' script not properly sanitizing user input, specifically path traversal style attacks (e.g. '../') when handling the '%u' username replacement functionality of the 'SaveDir' and 'UploadDir' features.  With a specially crafted request, a remote attacker can disclose arbitrary files.
 - A flaw exists that allows an XSS attack.  This flaw exists because the 'libraries/navigation/Nodes/Node_Database.class.php' script does not validate input to database names before returning it to users.  This may allow a remote attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - A flaw exists that allows an XSS attack.  This flaw exists because the 'libraries/tracking.lib.php' script does not validate input when handling queries before returning it to users.  This may allow a remote attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - A flaw exists that allows an XSS attack.  This flaw exists because the 'libraries/tbl_gis_visualization.lib.php' script does not validate input before returning it to users.  This may allow a remote attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - A flaw exists that may allow carrying out an SQL injection attack.  The issue is due to the program not properly sanitizing input when handling user group queries. This may allow a remote attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, allowing for the manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary data.
 - A flaw exists that may allow carrying out an SQL injection attack.  The issue is due to the 'libraries/display_export.lib.php' script not properly sanitizing input when handling database or table names.  This may allow a remote attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, allowing for the manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary data.
 - A flaw exists in the 'transformation_wrapper.php' script that is triggered during the scaling of image dimensions.  This may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service for the server.
 - A flaw exists that may allow carrying out an SQL injection attack.  The issue is due to the user interface preference feature not properly sanitizing input before using it in SQL queries.  This may allow a remote attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, allowing for the manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary data.
 - A flaw exists in the 'unserialize()' function that is triggered during the handling of user-supplied data.  This may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
 - A flaw exists in the 'AllowArbitraryServer' option that is triggered when a remote attacker to forces persistent connections.  This may allow the attacker to cause a denial of service.
 - A flaw exists that is triggered during the handling of looped large values.  This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service on a server.
 - A flaw exists in the 'libraries/ip_allow_deny.lib.php' script that may allow a remote attacker to bypass IP-based authentication rules.
 - An unspecified flaw exists that may allow a remote attacker to determine whether a user is logged into the program.
 - A flaw exists that allows a cross-site redirection attack.  This flaw exists because the application does not validate input upon submission to the 'libraries/core.lib.php' script.  This could allow a context-dependent attacker to create a specially crafted link that, if followed, would redirect a victim from the intended legitimate web site to an arbitrary web site of the attacker's choosing. 
 - A flaw exists in the 'url.php' script that is triggered during the handling of HTTP headers.  This may allow a remote attacker to disclose host location information.
 - A flaw exists in the 'file_echo.php' script that may allow a remote attacker to cause a different user to download a specially crafted SVG file.
 - A flaw exists in the 'ArbitraryServerRegexp' configuration directive that may allow a remote attacker to reuse certain cookie values and bypass intended server definition limits.
 - A flaw exists in the 'user_password.php' script that is triggered during the handling of an overly long password.  This may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
 - A flaw exists in '/libraries/plugins/transformations/generator_plugin.sh' that is triggered during the handling of query strings.  This may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
 - A flaw exists in the dbase extension in the 'libraries/plugins/import/ImportShp.class.php' script that is due to the program failing to delete temporary files during the import of ESRI files.  This may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
 - A flaw exists in the 'dbase' extension that is triggered during the handling of SHP import.  This may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
