high Nessus Plugin ID 26031

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

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

- CVE-2007-1325 The PMA_ArrayWalkRecursive function in libraries/common.lib.php does not limit recursion on arrays provided by users, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (web server crash) via an array with many dimensions.

This issue affects only the stable distribution (Etch).

- CVE-2007-1395 Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in index.php allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by injecting arbitrary JavaScript or HTML in a (1) db or (2) table parameter value followed by an uppercase </SCRIPT> end tag, which bypasses the protection against lowercase </script>.

This issue affects only the stable distribution (Etch).

- CVE-2007-2245 Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the fieldkey parameter to browse_foreigners.php or (2) certain input to the PMA_sanitize function.

- CVE-2006-6942 Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML or web script via (1) a comment for a table name, as exploited through (a) db_operations.php, (2) the db parameter to (b) db_create.php, (3) the newname parameter to db_operations.php, the (4) query_history_latest, (5) query_history_latest_db, and (6) querydisplay_tab parameters to (c) querywindow.php, and (7) the pos parameter to (d) sql.php.

This issue affects only the oldstable distribution (Sarge).

- CVE-2006-6944 phpMyAdmin allows remote attackers to bypass Allow/Deny access rules that use IP addresses via false headers.

This issue affects only the oldstable distribution (Sarge).

Solution

Upgrade the phpmyadmin packages.

For the old stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.2-3sarge5.

For the stable distribution (etch) these problems have been fixed in version 2.9.1.1-4.
