Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the table Print view implementation in tbl_printview.php in phpMyAdmin before 3.3.10.3 and 3.4.x before 3.4.3.2 allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted table name.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201201-01 (phpMyAdmin: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpMyAdmin. Please       review the CVE identifiers and phpMyAdmin Security Advisories referenced       below for details.
  Impact :

    Remote attackers might be able to insert and execute PHP code, include       and execute local PHP files, or perform Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)       attacks via various vectors.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

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.

Versions of phpMyAdmin 3.3.x earlier than 3.3.10.3 and 3.4.x earlier than 3.4.3.2 are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities : 

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the table Print view. (PMASA-2011-9)

  - A local file inclusion vulnerability can be exploited via a specially crafted MIME-type transformation parameter. (PMASA-2011-10)

  - In the 'relational schema' code a parameter is not sanitized before being used to concatenate a class name which could lead to a local file inclusion or code execution. (PMASA-2011-11)

  - It is possible to manipulate the PHP superglobals (including SESSION) using some of the Swekey authentication code. (PMASA-2011-12)

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in phpMyAdmin, a tool to administrate MySQL over the web. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2011-2505     Possible session manipulation in Swekey authentication.

  - CVE-2011-2506     Possible code injection in setup script, in case session     variables are compromised.

  - CVE-2011-2507     Regular expression quoting issue in Synchronize code.

  - CVE-2011-2508     Possible directory traversal in MIME-type     transformation.

  - CVE-2011-2642     Cross site scripting in table Print view when the     attacker can create crafted table names.

  - No CVE name yet

    Possible superglobal and local variables manipulation in     Swekey authentication. (PMASA-2011-12)

The oldstable distribution (lenny) is only affected by CVE-2011-2642, which has been fixed in version 2.11.8.1-5+lenny9.

The phpMyAdmin development team reports :

XSS in table Print view.

Via a crafted MIME-type transformation parameter, an attacker can perform a local file inclusion.

In the 'relational schema' code a parameter was not sanitized before being used to concatenate a class name.

The end result is a local file inclusion vulnerability and code execution.

It was possible to manipulate the PHP session superglobal using some of the Swekey authentication code.

This is very similar to PMASA-2011-5, documented in 7e4e5c53-a56c-11e0-b180-00216aa06fc2
