Ärende: phpMyAdmin: reply to vulnerability report (2003-06-18)
------------------------------------------------------------
( From http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation#faqsecurity )

  Last update: 2003-07-02.

The phpMyAdmin development team received notice of this security
alert:  http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/325641.

The team regrets that the author did not communicate with us before 
sending this alert. However, here is our current reply to the points 
mentionned:

     * "Directory transversal attack"

       This problem had been fixed in version 2.5.0, even if the
author  reports the 2.5.2 development version as vulnerable, which we
could not  reproduce.

     * "Remote local file retrieving"

       This is a misleading title, as the author tells in his text: 
"Note that you can't request files ( only dirs )".

     * "Remote internal directory listing"

       It was possible to retrieve the list of phpMyAdmin's directory
(which we doubt can cause any damage), but we fixed this in the
upcoming  2.5.2 version.

     * "XSS and Path disclosures"

       Most of the XSS problems have been fixed in version 2.5.0. The 
rest have been fixed in the upcoming 2.5.2 version.

       We are currently looking at the Path disclosure issue.

     * "Information encoding weakness"

       We believe that an exploit for this weakness would be
difficult  to achieve. However version 2.5.2-dev now encrypts the
password with the  well-known blowfish algorithm.
