Description

In phpMyAdmin before 4.4.15.9, when the user does not specify a
blowfish_secret key for encrypting cookies, phpMyAdmin generates one at
runtime. A vulnerability was reported where the way this value is created
using a weak algorithm. This could allow an attacker to determine the
user's blowfish_secret and potentially decrypt their cookies
(CVE-2016-9847).

In phpMyAdmin before 4.4.15.9, phpinfo.php shows PHP information including
values of sensitive HttpOnly cookies (CVE-2016-9848).

In phpMyAdmin before 4.4.15.9, it is possible to bypass AllowRoot
restriction ($cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowRoot']) and deny rules for username
by using Null Byte in the username (CVE-2016-9849).

In phpMyAdmin before 4.4.15.9, a vulnerability in username matching for
the allow/deny rules may result in wrong matches and detection of the
username in the rule due to non-constant execution time (CVE-2016-9850).

In phpMyAdmin before 4.4.15.9, with a crafted request parameter value it
is possible to bypass the logout timeout (CVE-2016-9851).

In phpMyAdmin before 4.4.15.9, by calling some scripts that are part of
phpMyAdmin in an unexpected way, it is possible to trigger phpMyAdmin to
display a PHP error message which contains the full path of the directory
where phpMyAdmin is installed. During an execution timeout in the export
functionality, the errors containing the full path of the directory of
phpMyAdmin is written to the export file (CVE-2016-9852, CVE-2016-9853,
CVE-2016-9854, CVE-2016-9855).

In phpMyAdmin before 4.4.15.9, several XSS vulnerabilities have been
reported, including an improper fix for PMASA-2016-10 and a weakness in a
regular expression using in some JavaScript processing (CVE-2016-9856,
CVE-2016-9857).

In phpMyAdmin before 4.4.15.9, with a crafted request parameter value it
is possible to initiate a denial of service attack in saved searches
feature (CVE-2016-9858).

In phpMyAdmin before 4.4.15.9, with a crafted request parameter value it
is possible to initiate a denial of service attack in import feature
(CVE-2016-9859).

In phpMyAdmin before 4.4.15.9, an unauthenticated user can execute a
denial of service attack when phpMyAdmin is running with
$cfg['AllowArbitraryServer']=true; (CVE-2016-9860).

In phpMyAdmin before 4.4.15.9, due to the limitation in URL matching, it
was possible to bypass the URL white-list protection (CVE-2016-9861).

In phpMyAdmin before 4.4.15.9, with a crafted username or a table name,
it was possible to inject SQL statements in the tracking functionality
that would run with the privileges of the control user. This gives read
and write access to the tables of the configuration storage database, and
if the control user has the necessary privileges, read access to some
tables of the mysql database (CVE-2016-9864).

In phpMyAdmin before 4.4.15.9, due to a bug in serialized string parsing,
it was possible to bypass the protection offered by PMA_safeUnserialize()
function (CVE-2016-9865).

In phpMyAdmin before 4.4.15.9, when the arg_separator is different from
its default value of &, the token was not properly stripped from the
return URL of the preference import action (CVE-2016-9866).
