CVE-2019-6799 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Alpine:3.16 phpmyadmin to version 4.8.5-r0 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream phpmyadmin package and not the phpmyadmin package as distributed by Alpine.
See How to fix? for Alpine:3.16 relevant fixed versions and status.
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.
