    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1723-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Thijs Kinkhorst February 11, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : phpmyadmin
    Vulnerability : insufficient input sanitising
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-5621

    Michael Brooks discovered that phpMyAdmin, a tool to administrate MySQL
    over the web, performs insufficient input sanitising allowing a user
    assisted remote attacker to execute code on the webserver.

    For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 2.9.1.1-10.

    For the testing distribution (lenny) and unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2.11.8.1-5.

    We recommend that you upgrade your phpmyadmin package.

    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
    will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
    will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade
    will install corrected packages

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
