Synopsis
=======
phpMyAdmin is vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks.
Background
=========
phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the
administration of MySQL databases from a web-browser.
Affected packages
================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-db/phpmyadmin < 2.6.0_p3 >= 2.6.0_p3
Description
==========
Cedric Cochin has discovered multiple cross-site scripting
vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin. These vulnerabilities can be exploited
through the PmaAbsoluteUri parameter, the zero_rows parameter in
read_dump.php, the confirm form, or an error message generated by the
internal phpMyAdmin parser.
Impact
=====
By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker can inject and
execute malicious script code, potentially compromising the victim's
browser.
Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=========
All phpMyAdmin users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.6.0_p3"
