SB2011072501 - Fedora EPEL 6 update for phpMyAdmin

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-2642)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data when processing data passed via a crafted table name. Per: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/security/PMASA-2011-9.php 'The attacker must trick the victim into clicking a link that reaches phpMyAdmin's table print view script; one of the link's parameters is a crafted table name (the name containing Javascript code).' 'Mitigation factor The crafted table name must exist (the attacker must have access to create a table on the victim's server).&#039. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.

2) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-2643)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in sql.php in phpMyAdmin 3.4.x before 3.4.3.2, when configuration storage is enabled,. A remote authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via directory traversal sequences in a MIME-type transformation parameter.

3) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-2718)

The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to read and manipulate data.

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in the relational schema implementation in phpMyAdmin 3.4.x before 3.4.3.2 allow remote authenticated users to include and execute arbitrary local files via directory traversal sequences in an export type field, related to (1) libraries/schema/User_Schema.class.php and (2) schema_export.php.

4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-2719)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate or delete data.

libraries/auth/swekey/swekey.auth.lib.php in phpMyAdmin 3.x before 3.3.10.3 and 3.4.x before 3.4.3.2 does not properly manage sessions associated with Swekey authentication, which allows remote attackers to modify the SESSION superglobal array, other superglobal arrays, and certain swekey.auth.lib.php local variables via a crafted query string, a related issue to CVE-2011-2505.
