medium Nessus Plugin ID 15840

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-200411-36 (phpMyAdmin: Multiple XSS vulnerabilities)

 Cedric Cochin has discovered multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin. These vulnerabilities can be exploited through the PmaAbsoluteUri parameter, the zero_rows parameter in read_dump.php, the confirm form, or an error message generated by the internal phpMyAdmin parser.
 Impact :

 By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker can inject and execute malicious script code, potentially compromising the victim's browser.
 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-2.6.0_p3'
