phpMyAdmin 4.4.6.1 (2015-05-13) ===============================

  - [security] CSRF vulnerability in setup

    - [security] Vulnerability allowing man-in-the-middle       attack

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

According to its self-reported version, the phpMyAdmin application hosted on the remote web server is 4.0.x prior to 4.0.10.10, 4.2.x prior to 4.2.13.3, 4.3.x prior to 4.3.13.1, or 4.4.x prior to 4.4.6.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - Multiple cross-site request forgery (XSRF) vulnerabilities in the setup process in phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before     4.0.10.10, 4.2.x before 4.2.13.3, 4.3.x before 4.3.13.1, and 4.4.x before 4.4.6.1 allow remote attackers     to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that modify the configuration file.
    (CVE-2015-3902)

  - libraries/Config.class.php in phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.10, 4.2.x before 4.2.13.3, 4.3.x before     4.3.13.1, and 4.4.x before 4.4.6.1 disables X.509 certificate verification for GitHub API calls over SSL,     which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted     certificate. (CVE-2015-3903)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

phpMyAdmin was updated to 4.2.13.3 to fix three security issues.

The following vulnerabilities were fixed :

  - CVE-2015-3902: CSRF vulnerability in setup     (PMASA-2015-2, boo#930992)

  - CVE-2015-3903: Vulnerability allowing man-in-the-middle     attack (PMASA-2015-3, boo#930993)

  - CVE-2015-2206: Risk of BREACH attack (PMASA-2015-1,     boo#920773)

Also contains all upstream bug fixes in the 4.2.13 branch.

Several issues have been fixed in phpMyAdmin, the web administration tool for MySQL.

  - CVE-2014-8958 (Wheezy only)     Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.

  - CVE-2014-9218 (Wheezy only)     Denial of service (resource consumption) via a long     password.

  - CVE-2015-2206     Risk of BREACH attack due to reflected parameter.

  - CVE-2015-3902     XSRF/CSRF vulnerability in phpMyAdmin setup.

  - CVE-2015-3903 (Jessie only)     Vulnerability allowing man-in-the-middle attack on API     call to GitHub.

  - CVE-2015-6830 (Jessie only)     Vulnerability that allows bypassing the reCaptcha test.

  - CVE-2015-7873 (Jessie only)     Content spoofing vulnerability when redirecting user to     an external site.

The phpMyAdmin development team reports :

XSRF/CSRF vulnerability in phpMyAdmin setup.

By deceiving a user to click on a crafted URL, it is possible to alter the configuration file being generated with phpMyAdmin setup.

This vulnerability only affects the configuration file generation process and does not affect the effective configuration file.
Moreover, the configuration file being generated is at risk only during the period when it's writable.

Vulnerability allowing man-in-the-middle attack on API call to GitHub.

A vulnerability in the API call to GitHub can be exploited to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.

We consider this vulnerability to be serious.

Versions of phpMyAdmin 4.0.x prior to 4.0.10.10, 4.2.x prior to 4.2.13.3, 4.3.x prior to 4.3.13.1, or 4.4.x prior to 4.4.6.1 are unpatched for the following vulnerabilities : 

 - An attacker could trick a user with a crafted URL during installation to alter the configuration file being generated. (CVE-2015-3902)
 - A flaw exists in 'libraries/Config.class.php' due to an error in an API call to GitHub that allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to perform unauthorized actions. (CVE-2015-3903)
