  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

phpMyAdmin Upgrade: Security Flaw

Eric Pretorious

Regular Pleskian
  1. At the bottom of the phpMyAdmin homepage there's a warning:

    A newer version of phpMyAdmin is available and you should consider upgrading. The newest version is 4.0.0, released on 2013-05-03.
  2. In Volume 13, Number 19 of the @RISK: The Consensus Security Vulnerability Alert, SANS has issued an alert...

    ID: CVE-2013-3238
    Title: phpMyAdmin preg_replace() Input Validation Error Script
    Execution Vulnerability
    Vendor: phpMyAdmin
    Description: phpMyAdmin 3.5.x before 3.5.8 and 4.x before 4.0.0-rc3 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a /e\x00 sequence, which is not properly handled before making a preg_replace function call within the "Replace table prefix" feature.
    CVSS v2 Base Score: 6.0 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:p/I:p/A:p)
From the most recent rpt_cl_report_for_admin__:

Parallels Panel version psa v11.0.9_build110120608.16 os_CentOS 6

Has the Plesk community already been notified of this vulnerability? Has this vulnerability already been addressed? How/When will phpMyAdmin be upgraded?
