- More information:
-
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 generator, 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.
