Description:
Maksymilian Arciemowicz has reported some vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks and disclose sensitive information.
1) Input passed to the "strServer", "cfg[BgcolorOne]", and "strServerChoice" parameters in "select_server.lib.php", the "bgcolor" and "row_no" parameters in "display_tbl_links.lib.php", the "left_font_family" parameter in "theme_left.css.php", and the "right_font_family" parameter in "theme_right.css.php" is not properly sanitised before being returned to users. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
2) Input passed to the "GLOBALS[cfg][ThemePath]" parameter in "phpmyadmin.css.php" and "cfg[Server][extension]" parameter in "database_interface.lib.php" is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled and that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 2.6.1. Other versions may also be affected.
It is also possible to disclose the full path to certain scripts by accessing them directly.
