Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-113: Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences in HTTP Headers ('HTTP Request/Response Splitting'), where the product receives data from an http agent/component (e.g., web server, proxy, browser, etc.), but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes cr and lf characters before the data is included in outgoing http headers. In Phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

CRLF injection vulnerability in `bs_disp_as_mime_type.php` in the BLOB streaming feature in phpMyAdmin before 3.1.3.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks via the (1) `c_type` and possibly (2) `file_type` parameters.
