Package : phppgadmin Version : 5.1+ds-4+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2023-40619 Debian Bug : 1053004

It was discovered there was a potential remote code execution vulnerability in phppgadmin, a web-based administration tool for the PostgreSQL database server. This issue concerned the deserialisation of untrusted data which may have led to remote code execution because user-controlled data was being passed directly to the PHP 'unserialize()' function.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 5.1+ds-4+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your phppgadmin packages.

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

Solution
