Debian 8 Jessie: DLA-1988-1 Moderate: Ampache SQL Injection and XSS

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Ampache, a web-based audio file management system. . Package : ampache Version : 3.6-rzb2752+dfsg-5+deb8u1 CVE ID : CVE-2019-12385 CVE-2019-12386 Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Ampache, a web-based audio file management system. CVE-2019-12385 A stored XSS exists in the localplay.php LocalPlay "add instance" functionality. The injected code is reflected in the instances menu. This vulnerability can be abused to force an admin to create a new privileged user whose credentials are known by the attacker. CVE-2019-12386 The search engine is affected by a SQL Injection, so any user able to perform lib/class/search.class.php searches (even guest users) can dump any data contained in the database (sessions, hashed passwords, etc.). This may lead to a full compromise of admin accounts, when combined with the weak password generator algorithm used in the lostpassword functionality. For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version 3.6-rzb2752+dfsg-5+deb8u1. We recommend that you upgrade your ampache packages. Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS . Enhance the ampache software to mitigate various security vulnerabilities impacting Debian 8 Jessie, particularly focusing on preventing XSS and SQL injection threats..

Gentoo: 200504-30 Normal: phpMyAdmin Insecure SQL Script Threat

phpMyAdmin leaves the SQL install script with insecure permissions, potentially leading to a database compromise. [More...]. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200504-30 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Normal Title: phpMyAdmin: Insecure SQL script installation Date: April 30, 2005 Bugs: #88831 ID: 200504-30 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======= phpMyAdmin leaves the SQL install script with insecure permissions, potentially leading to a database compromise. Background ========= phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL databases from a web-browser. phpMyAdmin uses a pma MySQL user to control the linked-tables infrastructure. The SQL install script sets the initial password for the pma user. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-db/phpmyadmin < 2.6.2-r1 > = 2.6.2-r1 Description ========== The phpMyAdmin installation process leaves the SQL install script with insecure permissions. Impact ===== A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain the initial phpMyAdmin password and from there obtain information about databases accessible by phpMyAdmin. Workaround ========= Change the password for the phpMyAdmin MySQL user (pma): mysql -u root -p SET PASSWORD FOR 'pma'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('MyNewPassword'); Update your phpMyAdmin config.inc.php: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = 'MyNewPassword'; Resolution ========= All phpMyAdminusers should change password for the pma user as described above and upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.6.2-r1" Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200504-30 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
