The security update for phpPgAdmin in DSA-1693-1 caused a regression in
modifying table fields. This updates corrects that flaw. For reference
the original advisory follows.
Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpPgAdmin, a tool
to administrate PostgreSQL database over the web. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:
CVE-2007-2865
Cross-site scripting vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject
arbitrary web script or HTML via the server parameter.
CVE-2007-5728
Cross-site scripting vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject
arbitrary web script or HTML via PHP_SELF.
CVE-2008-5587
Directory traversal vulnerability allows remote attackers to read
arbitrary files via _language parameter.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 4.0.1-3.1etch2.
We recommend that you upgrade your phppgadmin package.
