Two flaws were reported [1],[2],[3] in phpLDAPAdmin 1.2.1.1 and probably earlier versions. 1) Input appended to the URL in cmd.php (when "cmd" is set to "_debug") is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site. 2) Input passed to the "orderby" parameter in cmd.php (when "cmd" is set to "query_engine", "query" is set to "none", and "search" is set to e.g. "1") is not properly sanitised in lib/functions.php before being used in a "create_function()" function call. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code. Both issues are fixed in git: issue #1 [4] and issue #2 [5].

Created phpldapadmin tracking bugs for this issue Affects: fedora-all [bug 748538] Affects: epel-6 [bug 748539]
Issue #1 was assigned the name CVE-2011-4074 and issue #2 was assigned the name CVE-2011-4075.
CVE-2011-4075 (issue #2) seems to affect 1.0.x and 0.9.8.x as well. I've patched 1.0.2 (el5) and 0.9.8.5 (el4) for this. Updates for f14/f15/f16 and el4/el5/el6 should appear in updates-testing soon.
Yes another security flaw in phpLDAPadmin -- local file inclusion in "common.php" file via the "Accept-Language" HTTP header: [6] http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/50328/exploit Relevant exploit: [7] http://downloads.securityfocus.com/vulnerabilities/exploits/50328.java The patch applied by phpLDAPadmin v0.9.8.5 version would fix this issue too.
CVE request for the third issue: [8] http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2011/10/27/3
for comment #4 : The "common.php" issue was fixed even in 0.9.8.3, and such a version was in Fedora/EPEL since 2006. It is not actual for us at least last 5 years. 0.9.8.5 is not a "fix" for this particular issue, I just have updated to the latest subversion in that branch, additionally to the patch to fix CVE-2011-4075 .
Confirmed vulnerable in 0.9.7, and fixed in 0.9.8 (common.php was moved into /lib/ and majorly refactored, no more include()'s).
Since this third issue only affects EPEL4, I filed a new bug for it: bug #749677.
