Fedora 28: 2018-68349e3094 Critical: phpMyAdmin XSS Attack

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...

Upstream announcement: The phpMyAdmin team is pleased to announce the release

of **phpMyAdmin version 4.8.2**. Among other bug fixes, this contains an

important security update and it is highly recommended that all users upgrade

immediately. The urgent vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker to

exploit a phpMyAdmin feature to show and potentially execute files on the

server. PHP open_basedir restrictions mitigate the effect of this flaw. For

further details, see the PMASA announcement . A second flaw was also fixed

allowing an attacker to use a specially crafted database name to trick a user in

to executing a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack in the Designer feature . In

addition to the security fixes, this release also includes these bug fixes as

part of our regular release cycle: * WHERE 0 clause causes a fatal error * Fix
