DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in phpMyAdmin, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application obtaining
parameters via the "$_REQUEST" variable, and using them without
proper sanitation in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate
SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code via a malicious cookie. 

Successful exploitation requires that a phpMyAdmin user is tricked
into visiting a malicious website.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 2.11.5.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.11.5.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
