    phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the
    administration of MySQL databases from a web-browser.

  <description>
    <p>
    Nicolas Gregoire (exaprobe.com) has discovered two vulnerabilities
    that exist only on a webserver where PHP safe_mode is off. These
    vulnerabilities could lead to command execution or file disclosure.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    On a system where external MIME-based transformations are enabled,
    an attacker can insert offensive values in MySQL, which would start a
    shell when the data is browsed. On a system where the UploadDir is
    enabled, read_dump.php could use the unsanitized sql_localfile variable
    to disclose a file.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    You can temporarily enable PHP safe_mode or disable external
    MIME-based transformation AND disable the UploadDir. But instead, we
    strongly advise to update your version to 2.6.1_rc1.
    </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-2.6.1_rc1&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
