Descriptions
libraries/database_interface.lib.php in phpMyAdmin before 2.11.9.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a request to server_databases.php with a sort_by parameter containing PHP sequences, which are processed by create_function.
libraries/database_interface.lib.php en phpMyAdmin anterior a 2.11.9.1, permite a usuarios autenticados en remoto ejecutar código de su elección a través de una solicitud a server_databases.php con un parámetro sort_by que contenga secuencias PHP que son procesadas por create_function.
A few vulnerabilities and security-related issues have been fixed in phpMyAdmin since the 2.11.7 release. This update provides version 2.11.9.2 which is the latest stable release of phpMyAdmin and fixes CVE-2008-3197, CVE-2008-3456, CVE-2008-3457, and CVE-2008-4096. No configuration changes should be required since the previous update (version 2.11.7). If upgrading from older versions, it may be necessary to reconfigure phpMyAdmin. The configuration file is located in /etc/phpMyAdmin/. In most cases, it should be sufficient so simply replace config.default.php with config.default.php.rpmnew and make whatever modifications are necessary.
