Alpine: multiple phpmyadmin packages: security update to 4.8.4-r0 (deprecated)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 400549

Description

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

- An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin before 4.8.5. A vulnerability was reported where a specially crafted
username can be used to trigger a SQL injection attack through the designer feature. (CVE-2019-6798)

- An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin before 4.8.5. When the AllowArbitraryServer configuration setting is
set to true, with the use of a rogue MySQL server, an attacker can read any file on the server that the
web server's user can access. This is related to the mysql.allow_local_infile PHP configuration, and the
inadvertent ignoring of "options(MYSQLI_OPT_LOCAL_INFILE" calls. (CVE-2019-6799)
