    <p>
    Stefan Esser from Hardened-PHP reported about multiple
    vulnerabilties found in phpMyAdmin. The $GLOBALS variable allows
    modifying the global variable import_blacklist to open phpMyAdmin to
    local and remote file inclusion, depending on your PHP version
    (CVE-2005-4079, PMASA-2005-9). Furthermore, it is also possible to
    conduct an XSS attack via the $HTTP_HOST variable and a local and
    remote file inclusion because the contents of the variable are under
    total control of the attacker (CVE-2005-3665, PMASA-2005-8).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker may exploit these vulnerabilities by sending
    malicious requests, causing the execution of arbitrary code with the
    rights of the user running the web server. The cross-site scripting
    issues allow a remote attacker to inject and execute malicious script
    code or to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, potentially
    allowing unauthorized access to phpMyAdmin.
    </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 &quot;&gt;=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.7.0_p1&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
