Debian DLA-2580-1 : adminer security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 146974

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Adminer is an open source database management in a single PHP file. In adminer from version 4.0.0 and before 4.7.9 there is a server-side request forgery vulnerability. Users of Adminer versions bundling all drivers (e.g. `adminer.php`) are affected.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 4.2.5-3+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your adminer packages.

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

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.
