Debian DSA-2034-1: Critical phpMyAdmin Security Update for Users

CVE-2008-7251

phpMyAdmin may create a temporary directory, if the configured directory
does not exist yet, with insecure filesystem permissions.

CVE-2008-7252

phpMyAdmin uses predictable filenames for temporary files, which may
lead to a local denial of service attack or privilege escalation.

CVE-2009-4605

The setup.php script shipped with phpMyAdmin may unserialize untrusted
data, allowing for cross site request forgery.


For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version
phpmyadmin 2.11.8.1-5+lenny4.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.2.4-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your phpmyadmin package.
