medium Nessus Plugin ID 76924

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in phpmyadmin :

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the PMA_getHtmlForActionLinks function in libraries/structure.lib.php in phpMyAdmin 4.2.x before 4.2.6 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted table comment that is improperly handled during construction of a database structure page (CVE-2014-4954).

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the PMA_TRI_getRowForList function in libraries/rte/rte_list.lib.php in phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.1, 4.1.x before 4.1.14.2, and 4.2.x before 4.2.6 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted trigger name that is improperly handled on the database triggers page (CVE-2014-4955).

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in js/functions.js in phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.1, 4.1.x before 4.1.14.2, and 4.2.x before 4.2.6 allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted (1) table name or (2) column name that is improperly handled during construction of an AJAX confirmation message (CVE-2014-4986).

server_user_groups.php in phpMyAdmin 4.1.x before 4.1.14.2 and 4.2.x before 4.2.6 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions and read the MySQL user list via a viewUsers request (CVE-2014-4987).

This upgrade provides the latest phpmyadmin version (4.2.6) to address these vulnerabilities.

Solution

Update the affected phpmyadmin package.
