Hi. I've found a bunch of vulnerabilities in the latest release of phpMyAdmin. Vuln 1: Any variable in the super global $_SESSION array can be overwritten or created with an arbitrate value. Vuln 2: A (common) misconfiguration of phpMyAdmin allows content from the $_SESSION array can be written to a .php-file. Combined with Vuln 1 this becomes a conditional remote code execution. Vuln 3: Content from the $_SESSION array are (post authentication) used as input to a function that can execute PHP code. Under the current circumstances a previously unknown null byte string truncation in this function is used. I have only been able to reproduce this string truncation on PHP 5.2.13 running on Windows 7 and I've failed to reproduce it on PHP 5.2.13 running on OpenBSD 4.7 and PHP 5.2.17 running on Linux 2.6.18. I do lack the necessary C++ debugging skills to find out why this only works on my windows box. Combined with Vuln 1 this becomes an authenticated remote code execution. Vuln 4: Under a certain configuration an authenticated attacker can include a local file and interpret it's content as PHP. By modifying values in the $_SESSION array a cache holding the required configuration option can be temporarily altered during run time. If combined with Vuln 1 all configurations are vulnerable to this authenticated local file inclusion. Vuln 2 & 3 does not rely on Vuln 1 since the $_SESSION array could also be modified by a local attacker trying to elevate his/hers privileges in an improperly configured shared environment. Do I need 4 CVEs? Regards /Mango - ha.xxor.se
