Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host contains a version of phpMyAdmin - 3.3.x less than 3.3.10.2 or 3.4.x less than 3.4.3.1 - that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- An error in the file 'libraries/auth/swekey/swekey.auth.lib.php' allows an attacker to modify the 'SESSION' superglobal array.
(CVE-2011-2505)

- An error in the file 'setup/lib/ConfigGenerator.class.php' does not properly handle PHP comment-closing delimiters. This can allow an attacker inject static code via a modified 'SESSION' superglobal array. (CVE-2011-2506)

- An error in the file 'libraries/server_synchronize.lib.php' does not properly call the 'preg_replace' function. This can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code via a modified 'SESSION' superglobal array. (CVE-2011-2507)

- An local file inclusion error exists in the 'PMA_displayTableBody' function in the file 'libraries/display_tbl.lib.php' that can allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information or execute code in file already present on the host.
(CVE-2011-2508)

Solution

Upgrade to phpMyAdmin version 3.3.10.2 / 3.4.3.1 or later.
