Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2016-0051)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'phpmyadmin, phpseclib' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0051 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'phpmyadmin, phpseclib' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0051 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Password suggestion functionality uses Math.random() which does not
provide cryptographically secure random numbers (CVE-2016-1927).

By calling some scripts that are part of phpMyAdmin in an unexpected way,
it is possible to trigger phpMyAdmin to display a PHP error message which
contains the full path of the directory where phpMyAdmin is installed
(CVE-2016-2038).

The XSRF/CSRF token is generated with a weak algorithm using functions
that do not return cryptographically secure values (CVE-2016-2039).

With a crafted table name it is possible to trigger an XSS attack in the
database search page. With a crafted SET value or a crafted search query,
it is possible to trigger an XSS attacks in the zoom search page. With a
crafted hostname header, it is possible to trigger an XSS attacks in the
home page (CVE-2016-2040).

The comparison of the XSRF/CSRF token parameter with the value saved in
the session is vulnerable to timing attacks. Moreover, the comparison
could be bypassed if the XSRF/CSRF token matches a particular pattern
(CVE-2016-2041).

The phpmyadmin package has been updated to version 4.4.15.4 in the 4.4.x
stable branch, and the phpseclib dependency has been updated to version
2.0.1.

Affected Software/OS:
'phpmyadmin, phpseclib' package(s) on Mageia 5.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
