Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
Nicolas Gregoire has reported two vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system and by malicious users to disclose sensitive information.

1) An input validation error in the handling of MySQL data allows injection of arbitrary shell commands.

Example:
F\';[command]\'A

Successful exploitation requires that PHP safe mode is disabled and MIME-based external transformations are activated.

The vulnerability has been reported in versions 2.6.0-pl2 up to 2.6.1-rc1.

2) Input passed to "sql_localfile" is not properly sanitised in "read_dump.php" before being used to disclose files.

Successful exploitation requires access to the phpMyAdmin interface, and that PHP safe mode is disabled and the UploadDir mechanism to be active.

The vulnerability has been reported in versions 2.4.0 up to 2.6.1-rc1.
