Fedora 24: 2016-fed6f8c57d Critical: php-adodb Cross-Site Scripting

fedora
Calendar Grey September 18, 2016
Dist Fedora Esm H88
An important security patch for php-adodb has been released to mitigate CVE-2016-4855 in Fedora 24, outlining the necessary steps for updating the software.
Security fix for CVE-2016-4855 (#1373374)

Summary

ADOdb is an object oriented library written in PHP that abstracts database

operations for portability. It is modelled on Microsoft's ADO, but has many

improvements that make it unique (eg. pivot tables, Active Record support,

generating HTML for paging recordsets with next and previous links, cached

recordsets, HTML menu generation, etc).

ADOdb hides the differences between the different databases so you can easily

switch DBs without changing code.
