phpMyAdmin 2.5.7pl1 is released (SECURITY HOLE!!!)

[Vin DSL]

MySQL 4.1 / 5.0 Note:

phpMyAdmin's support for MySQL 4.1 / 5.0 is still experimental

Fixes:

• invalid escaping of + in ENUM
• handling of GRANT...TO
• handling of floating point digits
• better error detection when export fails
• password error when copying a user
• copying a user with table privileges
• export: handling of multi-column foreign keys
• new collation page latin1_spanish_ci
• support for MySQL 4.1.2 (table type is called "engine")
• (pl1) fixes vulnerability disclosed on BUGTRAQ on 2004-06-29

This is phpMyAdmin 2.5.7, patch level 1, fixing the vulnerability dated 2004-06-29 released on BUGTRAQ. See Documentation.html, FAQ 8.2.

We would like to put emphasis on the disappointment we feel when a bugreporter does not contact the authors of a software first, before posting any exploits.

The common way to report this, is to give the developers a reasonable amount of time to respond to an exploit before it is made public.

Huh? I'm long on consideration and short on solicitude, TMOV. I know this bothers some ppl; however, you can't please everyone. Love me or hate me, I am NOT perfect...

As far as the 'complaint' is considered, I was merely parroting the words of the phpMyAdmin Dev Team. They are the ones complaining, not me. I am simply trying to inform ppl that hackers have found a huge security hole in phpMyAdmin. Do you judge that to be improper? I considered that to be a good thing.

Glad you finally admitted that you were not perfect

Hope your 4th is away from the fires and not one of destruction.
