CVE-2011-4107

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions phpMyAdmin versions 3.3.x through 3.3.10.4 phpMyAdmin versions 3.4.x through 3.4.7.0

Description The issue allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files via XML data containing external entity references, also known as an XML external entity (XXE) injection attack. This is due to the simplexml load string function in the XML import plug-in.

Recommendations For phpMyAdmin versions 3.3.x through 3.3.10.4, update to version 3.3.10.5 or later. For phpMyAdmin versions 3.4.x through 3.4.7.0, update to version 3.4.7.1 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the simplexml load string function in the XML import plug-in until a patch is available.
