Full Text Bug Listing

Michal Majchrowicz has reported a vulnerability in phpPgAdmin, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed via the URL to login.php through various scripts (e.g.
redirect.php) is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This
can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser
session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerability is reported in versions 3.5 to 4.1.1. Other versions may also
be affected.

NOTE: Other scripts are also reportedly affected.

Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

setting status and cc'ing herds. web-apps/postgresql, please advise.

Well, there's currently no news from upstream as far as I can tell and from the
activity I'd guess it could take some time until this is fixed.
Therefore the only solution for the user is to restrict access to the
phppgadmin-locations using the webserver.

4.1.2 in the tree

Thanks Renat.
Arches, please test and mark stable. Target keywords are:
phppgadmin-4.1.2.ebuild:KEYWORDS="amd64 hppa ppc sparc x86"

amd64 done

1. emerges on x86
2. passes test suite
3. passes collision test
4. works

For me Stable in x86

Stable for HPPA.

stable on ppc.

sparc stable.

x86 stable, last arch, sorry for the delay

I tend to vote NO.

I vote no, same reason as bug 175847. And closing. Feel free to reopen if you
disagree.
