Package(s):phpmyadmin CVE #(s):CVE-2008-1149
Created:March 10, 2008 Updated:April 25, 2008
Description:

From the Gentoo advisory:

Richard Cunningham reported that phpMyAdmin uses the $_REQUEST variable of $_GET and $_POST as a source for its parameters.

An attacker could entice a user to visit a malicious web application that sets an "sql_query" cookie and is hosted on the same domain as phpMyAdmin, and thereby conduct SQL injection attacks with the privileges of the user authenticating in phpMyAdmin afterwards.
