Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.66102
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-1918-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'phpmyadmin' package(s) announced via the DSA-1918-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'phpmyadmin' package(s) announced via the DSA-1918-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpMyAdmin, a tool to administer MySQL over the web. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2009-3696

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted MySQL table name.

CVE-2009-3697

SQL injection vulnerability in the PDF schema generator functionality allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This issue does not apply to the version in Debian 4.0 Etch.

Additionally, extra fortification has been added for the web based setup.php script. Although the shipped web server configuration should ensure that this script is protected, in practice this turned out not always to be the case. The config.inc.php file is not writable anymore by the webserver user. See README.Debian for details on how to enable the setup.php script if and when you need it.

For the old stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 2.9.1.1-13.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 2.11.8.1-5+lenny3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 3.2.2.1-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your phpmyadmin package.

Affected Software/OS:
'phpmyadmin' package(s) on Debian 4, Debian 5.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
