Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpMyAdmin,
an application to administrate MySQL over the WWW. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:
- CVE-2008-1924
Attackers with CREATE table permissions were allowed to read
arbitrary files readable by the webserver via a crafted
HTTP POST request.
- CVE-2008-1567
The PHP session data file stored the username and password of
a logged in user, which in some setups can be read by a local
user.
- CVE-2008-1149
Cross site scripting and SQL injection were possible by attackers
that had permission to create cookies in the same cookie domain
as phpMyAdmin runs in.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 4:2.9.1.1-7.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 4:2.11.5.2-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your phpmyadmin package.
