+ <background>
+ <p>
+ phpMyAdmin is a popular, web-based MySQL administration tool written in
+ PHP. It allows users to administer a MySQL database from a web-browser.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Two serious vulnerabilities exist in phpMyAdmin. The first allows any
+ user to alter the server configuration variables (including host, name,
+ and password) by appending new settings to the array variables that
+ hold the configuration in a GET statement. The second allows users to
+ include arbitrary PHP code to be executed within an eval() statement in
+ table name configuration settings. This second vulnerability is only
+ exploitable if $cfg['LeftFrameLight'] is set to FALSE.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ Authenticated users can alter configuration variables for their running
+ copy of phpMyAdmin. The impact of this should be minimal. However, the
+ second vulnerability would allow an authenticated user to execute
+ arbitrary PHP code with the permissions of the webserver, potentially
+ allowing a serious Denial of Service or further remote compromise.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ The second, more serious vulnerability is only exploitable if
+ $cfg['LeftFrameLight'] is set to FALSE. In the default Gentoo
+ installation, this is set to TRUE. There is no known workaround for the
+ first.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All phpMyAdmin users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.5.7_p1"
+ # emerge "&gt;=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.5.7_p1"</code>
+ </resolution>
