GLSA-200803-15 : phpMyAdmin: SQL injection vulnerability

medium Nessus Plugin ID 31441

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200803-15 (phpMyAdmin: SQL injection vulnerability)

 Richard Cunningham reported that phpMyAdmin uses the $_REQUEST variable of $_GET and $_POST as a source for its parameters.
 Impact :

 An attacker could entice a user to visit a malicious web application that sets an 'sql_query' cookie and is hosted on the same domain as phpMyAdmin, and thereby conduct SQL injection attacks with the privileges of the user authenticating in phpMyAdmin afterwards.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All phpMyAdmin users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.11.5'
