Bug Description

Binary package hint: phpmyadmin

phpmyadmin in hardy (still under LTS support) is vulnerable to CVE-2009-4605.

See http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-4605 for more Information.

Debian has fixed it long ago (April 17th 2010) with version 4:2.11.8.1-5+lenny4, see
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/p/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin_2.11.8.1-5+lenny4/changelog#versionversion4:2.11.8.1-5_lenny4
http://www.debian.org/security/2010/dsa-2034

For some weeks now the bug is widely misused to break into servers, it needs to be fixed as security update for hardy.

Regards Christoph
