Package : phpmyadmin
CVE ID : CVE-2016-1927 CVE-2016-2039 CVE-2016-2040 CVE-2016-2041
CVE-2016-2560 CVE-2016-2561 CVE-2016-5099 CVE-2016-5701
CVE-2016-5705 CVE-2016-5706 CVE-2016-5731 CVE-2016-5733
CVE-2016-5739

Several vulnerabilities have been fixed in phpMyAdmin, the web-based
MySQL administration interface.

CVE-2016-1927

The suggestPassword function relied on a non-secure random number
generator which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess
generated passwords via a brute-force approach.

CVE-2016-2039

CSRF token values were generated by a non-secure random number
genrator, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access
restrictions by predicting a value.

CVE-2016-2040

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow remote
authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.

CVE-2016-2041

phpMyAdmin does not use a constant-time algorithm for comparing
CSRF tokens, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass
intended access restrictions by measuring time differences.

CVE-2016-2560

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow remote
attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.

CVE-2016-2561

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow remote
attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.

CVE-2016-5099

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow remote
attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.

CVE-2016-5701

For installations running on plain HTTP, phpMyAdmin allows remote
attackers to conduct BBCode injection attacks against HTTP sessions
via a crafted URI.

CVE-2016-5705

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow remote
attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.

CVE-2016-5706

phpMyAdmin allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(resource consumption) via a large array in the scripts parameter.

CVE-2016-5731

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability allows remote
attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.

CVE-2016-5733

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow remote
attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.

CVE-2016-5739

A specially crafted Transformation could leak information which
a remote attacker could use to perform cross site request forgeries.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 4:4.2.12-2+deb8u2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 4:4.6.3-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your phpmyadmin packages.
