- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4340-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Bastien Roucaris October 20, 2025 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Package : libphp-adodb Version : 5.20.19-1+deb11u3 CVE ID : CVE-2025-54119 Debian Bug : 1110464

libphp-adodb, a class library that provides abstractions for performing queries and managing databases, was affected by a vulnerability.

Improper escaping of a query parameter may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL statements when the code using ADOdb connects to a sqlite3 or sqlite database and calls the metaColumns(), metaForeignKeys() or metaIndexes() methods with a crafted table name.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 5.20.19-1+deb11u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your libphp-adodb packages.

For the detailed security status of libphp-adodb please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libphp-adodb
