phpmyadmin: multiple vulnerabilities

Package(s):phpMyAdmin CVE #(s):
Created:July 18, 2011 Updated:July 20, 2011
Description: From the phpMyAdmin advisories [1; 2; 3; 4]:

It was possible to manipulate the PHP session superglobal using some of the Swekey authentication code. This could open a path for other attacks.

An unsanitized key from the Servers array is written in a comment of the generated config. An attacker can modify this key by modifying the SESSION superglobal array. This allows the attacker to close the comment and inject code.

Through a possible bug in PHP, a null byte can truncate the pattern string allowing an attacker to inject the /e modifier causing the preg_replace function to execute its second argument as PHP code.

Fixed filtering of a file path in the MIME-type transformation code, which allowed for directory traversal.
