Announcement-ID: PMASA-2012-3
Date: 2012-08-09
Summary
Path disclosure due to missing library.
Description
The show_config_errors.php script does not include a library, so an error message shows the full path of this file, leading to possible further attacks.
Severity
We consider this vulnerability to be non critical.
Mitigation factor
For the error messages to be displayed, php.ini's error_reporting must be set to E_ALL and display_errors must be On (these settings are not recommended on a production server in the PHP manual).
Affected Versions
Versions 3.5.x before 3.5.2.1 are affected.
Solution
Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 3.5.2.1 or newer or apply the related patch listed below.
