high Nessus Plugin ID 35964
Synopsis
The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.Description
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200903-32 (phpMyAdmin: Multiple vulnerabilities)Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in phpMyAdmin:
libraries/database_interface.lib.php in phpMyAdmin allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a request to server_databases.php with a sort_by parameter containing PHP sequences, which are processed by create_function (CVE-2008-4096).
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in pmd_pdf.php allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the db parameter, a different vector than CVE-2006-6942 and CVE-2007-5977 (CVE-2008-4775).
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in phpMyAdmin allows remote authenticated attackers to perform unauthorized actions as the administrator via a link or IMG tag to tbl_structure.php with a modified table parameter. NOTE: this can be leveraged to conduct SQL injection attacks and execute arbitrary code (CVE-2008-5621).
Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin allow remote attackers to conduct SQL injection attacks via unknown vectors related to the table parameter, a different vector than CVE-2008-5621 (CVE-2008-5622).
Impact :
A remote attacker may execute arbitrary code with the rights of the webserver, inject and execute SQL with the rights of phpMyAdmin or conduct XSS attacks against other users.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
Solution
All phpMyAdmin users should upgrade to the latest version:# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.11.9.4'
