TITLE:
phpMyAdmin Database Name SQL Injection and Script Insertion

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA27630

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/27630/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, Manipulation of data

WHERE:
From remote

REVISION:
1.2 originally posted 2007-11-12

SOFTWARE:
phpMyAdmin 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/1720/

DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in phpMyAdmin, which can be
exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion and SQL
injection attacks.

1) Input passed to the "db" parameter in db_create.php is not
properly sanitised before being stored. This can be exploited to
insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which is executed in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious
data is viewed.

Successful exploitation requires that the attacker has CREATE
DATABASE credentials, that the target user has valid user
credentials, and that the target user uses a web browser that
executes JavaScript code in <img> HTML elements (e.g. Opera).

2) Input passed to the "db" parameter in db_create.php is not
properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be
exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires that the attacker has CREATE
DATABASE credentials.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 2.11.2. Prior versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.11.2.1.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
1) Omer Singer, The DigiTrust Group
2) Reported by the vendor.

CHANGELOG:
2007-11-15: Added CVE reference.
