    administration of MySQL databases from a web-browser.

  <description>
    <p>
    phpMyAdmin contains several security issues:
    </p>
    <ul>
    <li>Maksymilian Arciemowicz has discovered multiple variable injection
    vulnerabilities that can be exploited through "$cfg" and "GLOBALS"
    variables and localized strings</li>
    <li>It is possible to force phpMyAdmin to disclose information in error
    messages</li>
    <li>Failure to correctly escape special characters</li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker can include and
    execute arbitrary PHP code or cause path information disclosure.
    Furthermore the XSS issue allows an attacker to inject malicious script
    code, potentially compromising the victim's browser. Lastly the
    improper escaping of special characters results in unintended privilege
    settings for MySQL.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All phpMyAdmin users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.6.1_p2-r1"</code>
  </resolution>
