PMASA-2005-6 when register_globals = on
http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/security.php?issue=PMASA-2005-6 reports that sarge's phpmyadmin package has a security flaw which is occured only if register_globals = on setting is used. This feature is disabled in Debian package by default so I doubt if this is serious problem. I'd like to ask if I should prepare the new package for sarge or not? -- .''`.Piotr Roszatycki, Netia SA : :' :mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] `. `' mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] `- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

According to the advisory, all versions 2.6.4-pl4 are affected (2.7.0-beta1 from the development schema). This would mean that this affects sid and etch too. Has a bug been filed/a CVE number assigned for this? Cheers, Neil -- __ .` `.

Has a bug been filed/a CVE number assigned for this? I don't know of one. We may have to go without one for the moment. Also, a second issue has just popped up: http://www.fitsec.com/advisories/FS-05-02.txt I'd be glad if you could provide patches and packages for both issues. (both because in the second the path disclosure is bogus for us since dpkg -c will disclose the path as well). Regards, Joey -- The only stupid question is the unasked one.

I think an upload would be justified. Agreed. I know from real life that many servers are *forced* to run with register_globals = on, due to reasons I'd rather not comment upon. -- One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
