Description

Updated phpmyadmin/phpseclib packages fix security vulnerability Password suggestion functionality uses Math.random() which does not provide cryptographically secure random numbers (CVE-2016-1927). By calling some scripts that are part of phpMyAdmin in an unexpected way, it is possible to trigger phpMyAdmin to display a PHP error message which contains the full path of the directory where phpMyAdmin is installed (CVE-2016-2038). The XSRF/CSRF token is generated with a weak algorithm using functions that do not return cryptographically secure values (CVE-2016-2039). With a crafted table name it is possible to trigger an XSS attack in the database search page. With a crafted SET value or a crafted search query, it is possible to trigger an XSS attacks in the zoom search page. With a crafted hostname header, it is possible to trigger an XSS attacks in the home page (CVE-2016-2040). The comparison of the XSRF/CSRF token parameter with the value saved in the session is vulnerable to timing attacks. Moreover, the comparison could be bypassed if the XSRF/CSRF token matches a particular pattern (CVE-2016-2041). The phpmyadmin package has been updated to version 4.4.15.4 in the 4.4.x stable branch, and the phpseclib dependency has been updated to version 2.0.1.

No weakness data has been published for this record.
