Several cross-site scripting vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpmyadmin, a set of PHP-scripts to administrate MySQL over the WWW. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:
Andreas Kerber and Michal Cihar discovered several cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in the error page and in the cookie login.
Stefan Esser discovered missing safety checks in grab_globals.php that could allow an attacker to induce phpmyadmin to include an arbitrary local file.
Tobias Klein discovered several cross-site scripting vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to inject arbitrary HTML or client-side scripting.
The version in the old stable distribution (woody) has probably its own flaws and is not easily fixable without a full audit and patch session. The easier way is to upgrade it from woody to sarge.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.2-3sarge1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.4-pl3-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your phpmyadmin package.
