Mandriva: Updated phpMyAdmin packages fix multiple vulnerabilities Print E-mail
User Rating:      How can I rate this item?
Posted by Benjamin D. Thomas   
Mandrake A few vulnerabilities and security-related issues have been fixed in phpMyAdmin since the 2.11.2.2 release. This update provides version 2.11.7 which is the latest stable release of phpMyAdmin and fixes CVE-2008-1149, CVE-2008-1567, CVE-2008-1924, and CVE-2008-2960. No configuration changes should be required since the previous update (version 2.11.2.2). If upgrading from older versions, it may be necessary to reconfigure phpMyAdmin. The configuration file is located in /etc/phpMyAdmin/. In most cases, it should be sufficient so simply replace config.default.php with config.default.php.rpmnew and make whatever modifications are necessary.
