IPv6 and proxy server IP-based authentication rule circumvention
A vulnerability was discovered where, under certain circumstances, it may be possible to circumvent the phpMyAdmin IP-based authentication rules.
When phpMyAdmin is used with IPv6 in a proxy server environment, and the proxy server is in the allowed range but the attacking computer is not allowed, this vulnerability can allow the attacking computer to connect despite the IP rules.
We consider this vulnerability to be serious
All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.4), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.8), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.17) are affected
Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 4.6.4, 4.4.15.8, or 4.0.10.17 or newer or apply patch listed below.
