Description Christian Hoffmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-09-15 19:47:04 UTC
Quoting $URL:

Summary:
Code execution vulnerability

Description:
We received an advisory from Norman Hippert and we wish to thank him for his work. The server_databases.php script was vulnerable to an attack coming from a user who is already logged-on to phpMyAdmin, where he can execute shell code (if the PHP configuration permits commands like exec).

Severity:
We consider this vulnerability to be serious.

Affected versions:
Versions before 2.11.9.1.

Solution:
Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 2.11.9.1 or newer.
