Debian DLA-1311-1 : adminer security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 108567

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was a server-side request forgery exploit in adminer, a web-based database administration tool.

Adminer allowed unauthenticated connections to be initiated to arbitrary systems and ports which could bypass external firewalls to identify internal hosts or perform port scanning of other servers.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in adminer version 3.3.3-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your adminer packages.

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected adminer package.
