Alpine: multiple phpmyadmin packages: security update to 4.4.15.9-r0

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 406392

Description

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

- An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. Due to a bug in serialized string parsing, it was possible to
bypass the protection offered by PMA_safeUnserialize() function. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.5),
4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.9), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.18) are affected. (CVE-2016-9865)

- An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. When the user does not specify a blowfish_secret key for encrypting
cookies, phpMyAdmin generates one at runtime. A vulnerability was reported where the way this value is
created uses a weak algorithm. This could allow an attacker to determine the user's blowfish_secret and
potentially decrypt their cookies. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.5), 4.4.x versions (prior to
4.4.15.9), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.18) are affected. (CVE-2016-9847)

- An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. phpinfo (phpinfo.php) shows PHP information including values of
HttpOnly cookies. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.5), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.9), and 4.0.x
versions (prior to 4.0.10.18) are affected. (CVE-2016-9848)

- An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. It is possible to bypass AllowRoot restriction
($cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowRoot']) and deny rules for username by using Null Byte in the username. All
4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.5), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.9), and 4.0.x versions (prior to
4.0.10.18) are affected. (CVE-2016-9849)

- An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. Username matching for the allow/deny rules may result in wrong
matches and detection of the username in the rule due to non-constant execution time. All 4.6.x versions
(prior to 4.6.5), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.9), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.18) are
affected. (CVE-2016-9850)
