Fedora 28: 2018-658eba5860 Critical: phpMyAdmin SQL Injection Risk

phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of

MySQL over the World Wide Web. Most frequently used operations are supported

by the user interface (managing databases, tables, fields, relations, indexes,

users, permissions), while you still have the ability to directly execute any

SQL statement.

Features include an intuitive web interface, support for most MySQL features

(browse and drop databases, tables, views, fields and indexes, create, copy,

drop, rename and alter databases, tables, fields and indexes, maintenance

server, databases and tables, with proposals on server configuration, execute,

edit and bookmark any SQL-statement, even batch-queries, manage MySQL users

and privileges, manage stored procedures and triggers), import data from CSV

and SQL, export data to various formats: CSV, SQL, XML, PDF, OpenDocument Text

and Spreadsheet, Word, Excel, LATEX and others, administering multiple servers,

creating PDF graphics of your database layout, creating complex queries using

Query-by-example (QBE), searching globally in a database or a subset of it,

transforming stored data into any format using a set of predefined functions,

like displaying BLOB-data as image or download-link and much more...

version 4.8.0 where an attacker can manipulate a user in to following a

specially-crafted link, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands

on the server. For more information, please see
