Synopsis
========
phpMyAdmin contains multiple vulnerabilities which could lead to file
disclosure or command execution.
Background
==========
phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the
administration of MySQL databases from a web-browser.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-db/phpmyadmin < 2.6.1_rc1 >= 2.6.1_rc1
Description
===========
Nicolas Gregoire (exaprobe.com) has discovered two vulnerabilities that
exist only on a webserver where PHP safe_mode is off. These
vulnerabilities could lead to command execution or file disclosure.
Impact
======
On a system where external MIME-based transformations are enabled, an
attacker can insert offensive values in MySQL, which would start a
shell when the data is browsed. On a system where the UploadDir is
enabled, read_dump.php could use the unsanitized sql_localfile variable
to disclose a file.
Workaround
==========
You can temporarily enable PHP safe_mode or disable external MIME-based
transformation AND disable the UploadDir. But instead, we strongly
advise to update your version to 2.6.1_rc1.
Resolution
==========
All phpMyAdmin users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.6.1_rc1"
