Announcement-ID: PMASA-2014-16
Date: 2014-11-20
Summary: Leakage of line count of an arbitrary file.
Description: 
In the error reporting feature, a parameter specifying the file was not correctly validated, allowing the attacker to derive the line count of an arbitrary file.
Severity

We consider this vulnerability to be non critical.

Mitigation factor

This vulnerability can be triggered only by someone who is logged in to phpMyAdmin, as the usual token protection prevents non-logged-in users from accessing the required page.
Affected Versions

Versions 4.1.x (prior to 4.1.14.7) and 4.2.x (prior to 4.2.12) are affected.
Solution

Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 4.1.14.7 or newer, or 4.2.12 or newer, or apply the patch listed below.
