{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2019-6799","details":"An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin before 4.8.5. When the AllowArbitraryServer configuration setting is set to true, with the use of a rogue MySQL server, an attacker can read any file on the server that the web server's user can access. This is related to the mysql.allow_local_infile PHP configuration, and the inadvertent ignoring of \"options(MYSQLI_OPT_LOCAL_INFILE\" calls.","modified":"2026-02-04T03:22:57.413156Z","published":"2019-01-26T17:29:00Z","related":["USN-4639-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2019-6799"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2019-6799"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.phpmyadmin.net/security/PMASA-2019-1/"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/commit/aeac90623e525057a7672ab3d98154b5c57c15ec"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/commit/c5e01f84ad48c5c626001cb92d7a95500920a900"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-4639-1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2019-6799"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"phpmyadmin","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/phpmyadmin@4:4.0.10-1ubuntu0.1+esm4?arch=source&distro=esm-infra-legacy/trusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["4:4.0.6-1","4:4.0.8-1","4:4.0.9-1","4:4.0.10-1","4:4.0.10-1ubuntu0.1","4:4.0.10-1ubuntu0.1+esm1","4:4.0.10-1ubuntu0.1+esm2","4:4.0.10-1ubuntu0.1+esm3","4:4.0.10-1ubuntu0.1+esm4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"phpmyadmin","binary_version":"4:4.0.10-1ubuntu0.1+esm4"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2019/UBUNTU-CVE-2019-6799.json"}},{"package":{"name":"phpmyadmin","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/phpmyadmin@4:4.5.4.1-2ubuntu2.1+esm6?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["4:4.4.13.1-1","4:4.5.0.2-2","4:4.5.1-1","4:4.5.1-2","4:4.5.1-3","4:4.5.2-1","4:4.5.2-2","4:4.5.3.1-1","4:4.5.4-1","4:4.5.4.1-2","4:4.5.4.1-2ubuntu1","4:4.5.4.1-2ubuntu2","4:4.5.4.1-2ubuntu2.1","4:4.5.4.1-2ubuntu2.1+esm2","4:4.5.4.1-2ubuntu2.1+esm3","4:4.5.4.1-2ubuntu2.1+esm4","4:4.5.4.1-2ubuntu2.1+esm5","4:4.5.4.1-2ubuntu2.1+esm6"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"phpmyadmin","binary_version":"4:4.5.4.1-2ubuntu2.1+esm6"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2019/UBUNTU-CVE-2019-6799.json"}},{"package":{"name":"phpmyadmin","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/phpmyadmin@4:4.6.6-5ubuntu0.5?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4:4.6.6-5ubuntu0.5"}]}],"versions":["4:4.6.6-5"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"No subscription required","binaries":[{"binary_name":"phpmyadmin","binary_version":"4:4.6.6-5ubuntu0.5"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2019/UBUNTU-CVE-2019-6799.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
