PMASA-2012-2

Announcement-ID: PMASA-2012-2

Date: 2012-03-28

Summary

Path disclosure due to missing verification of file presence.

Description

The show_config_errors.php scripts did not validate the presence of the 
configuration file, so an error message shows the full path of this file, 
leading to possible further attacks.

Severity

We consider this vulnerability to be non critical.

Mitigation factor

For the error messages to be displayed, php.ini's error_reporting must be set 
to E_ALL and display_errors must be On (these settings are not recommended on 
a production server in the PHP manual).

Affected Versions

Versions 3.4.x are affected.

Solution

Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 3.4.10.2 or newer or apply the related patch listed 
below.
