Package : phpmyadmin
Vulnerability : insufficient input sanitising
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2010-3055 CVE-2010-3056

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpMyAdmin, a tool
to administer MySQL over the web. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2010-3055

The configuration setup script does not properly sanitise its output
file, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via
a crafted POST request. In Debian, the setup tool is protected through
Apache HTTP basic authentication by default.

CVE-2010-3056

Various cross site scripting issues have been discovered that allow
a remote attacker to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.11.8.1-5+lenny5.

For the testing (squeeze) and unstable distribution (sid), these problems
have been fixed in version 3.3.5.1-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your phpmyadmin package.
