Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

phpMyAdmin is vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks.

Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the
administration of MySQL databases from a web-browser.

Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3 D

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected

1 dev-db/phpmyadmin < 2.6.0_p3 >=3D 2.6.0_p3

Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Cedric Cochin has discovered multiple cross-site scripting
vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin. These vulnerabilities can be exploited
through the PmaAbsoluteUri parameter, the zero_rows parameter in
read_dump.php, the confirm form, or an error message generated by the
internal phpMyAdmin parser.

Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker can inject and
execute malicious script code, potentially compromising the victim's
browser.

Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

All phpMyAdmin users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Ddev-db/phpmyadmin-2.6.0_p3"
