Description Luke Macken (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-16 12:51:29 UTC 
DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in phpMyAdmin, which can be
exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error in the
handling of "_" characters in the privileges management module where
users in certain situations can be assigned wildcard permissions.
This can be exploited to bypass certain security restrictions.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.6.1-pl3.
