The Internet, 2004-06-30
Greetings,
The phpMyAdmin development team announces
the availability of phpMyAdmin 2.5.7, patch level 1.
This version fixes the vulnerability dated 2004-06-29,
released on BUGTRAQ.
From our Documentation.html, FAQ 8.2:
"We acknowledge that phpMyAdmin versions 2.5.1 to 2.5.7 are vulnerable to this problem,
if each of the following conditions are met:
* The Web server hosting phpMyAdmin is not running in safe mode.
* In config.inc.php, $cfg['LeftFrameLight'] is set to FALSE (the default value of this parameter is TRUE).
* There is no firewall blocking requests from the Web server to the attacking host."
We would like to put emphasis on the disappointment we feel when a bugreporter does not contact the authors of a software first, before posting any exploits. The common way to report this, is to give the developers a reasonable amount of time to respond to an exploit
