DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in phpMyAdmin, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application not properly
sanitising configuration parameters during the setup procedure. This
can be exploited to inject arbitrary PHP code into the phpMyAdmin
configuration file.

NOTE: Successful exploitation requires that installation
best-practices have not been followed and the setup scripts have not
been deleted after a successful installation.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 2.11.10.1.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.11.10.1.
