Description Jan Lieskovsky 2011-09-15 14:17:28 UTC

Multiple XSS flaws have been recently reported in the v3.4.4 version of phpMyAdmin (PMASA-2011-14):

[1] http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/security/PMASA-2011-14.php

1) An XSS flaw was found in the way phpMyAdmin processed row content,
   containing JavaScript code, after its inline editing and saving,

2) It was found that phpMyAdmin did not properly sanitize the content
   of db, table, and column names prior use of their values.

A remote attacker could use these flaws to conduct XSS attacks (execute arbitrary HTML or web script) by tricking authenticated phpMyAdmin user into visiting of a specially-crafted URL.

Comment 1 Jan Lieskovsky 2011-09-15 14:22:57 UTC

These issues affect the versions of the phpMyAdmin package, as shipped with Fedora release of 14 and 15. Please schedule an update.

--

These issues affect the versions of the phpMyAdmin package, as present within EPEL-6 repository. Please schedule an update.

--

These issues do NOT affect the versions of the phpMyAdmin package, as present within EPEL-4 and EPEL-5 repositories. If I looked correctly, the relevant functionality isn't there yet. But Robert, please have look and confirm too,
so we could be sure.

Thanks, Jan.
