Description David Walser 2016-05-26 01:05:11 CEST
Upstream has issued an advisory today (May 25):
https://www.phpmyadmin.net/security/PMASA-2016-16/

It is fixed in 4.4.15.6:
https://www.phpmyadmin.net/files/4.4.15.6/

The release announcement hasn't been posted yet and there is no CVE available yet.  Advisory to come later.

Updated packages uploaded for Mageia 5 and Cauldron.

If someone could check the Cauldron one too and make sure there are no dependency issues, that'd be great.

Updated packages in core/updates_testing:
========================
phpmyadmin-4.4.15.6-1.mga5

from phpmyadmin-4.4.15.6-1.mga5.src.rpm

Comment 3 David Walser 2016-05-26 12:04:51 CEST
Still no CVE, but here's an advisory.

Advisory:
========================

Updated phpmyadmin package fixes security vulnerability:

In phpMyAdmin before 4.4.15.6, a specially crafted attack could allow for
special HTML characters to be passed as URL encoded values and displayed back
as special characters in the page (PMASA-2016-16).
