Alpine: multiple phpmyadmin packages: security update to 4.4.15.8-r0

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 406391

Description

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)

- XSS issues were discovered in phpMyAdmin. This affects Zoom search (specially crafted column content can
be used to trigger an XSS attack); GIS editor (certain fields in the graphical GIS editor are not properly
escaped and can be used to trigger an XSS attack); Relation view; the following Transformations:
Formatted, Imagelink, JPEG: Upload, RegexValidation, JPEG inline, PNG inline, and transformation wrapper;
XML export; MediaWiki export; Designer; When the MySQL server is running with a specially-crafted log_bin
directive; Database tab; Replication feature; and Database search. 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-2016-6607)

- XSS issues were discovered in phpMyAdmin. This affects the database privilege check and the "Remove
partitioning" functionality. Specially crafted database names can trigger the XSS attack. All 4.6.x
versions (prior to 4.6.4) are affected. (CVE-2016-6608)

- An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. A specially crafted database name could be used to run arbitrary
PHP commands through the array export feature. 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-2016-6609)
