<p>
phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the
administration of MySQL databases from a web-browser. phpMyAdmin uses a
pma MySQL user to control the linked-tables infrastructure. The SQL
install script sets the initial password for the pma user.

<description>
<p>
The phpMyAdmin installation process leaves the SQL install script with
insecure permissions.
</p>

<impact type="normal">
<p>
A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain the initial
phpMyAdmin password and from there obtain information about databases
accessible by phpMyAdmin.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
Change the password for the phpMyAdmin MySQL user (pma):
</p>
<code>
mysql -u root -p
SET PASSWORD FOR 'pma'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('MyNewPassword');</code>
<p>
Update your phpMyAdmin config.inc.php:
</p>
<code>
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = 'MyNewPassword';</code>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All phpMyAdmin users should change password for the pma user as
described above and upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.6.2-r1&quot;</code>
</resolution>
