    Exclamation !!!IMPORTANT!!! phpMyAdmin Version 2.6.4 patch level 3 released [October 22th, 2005]

    Due to serious vulnerability we came up with the new patch level. see the PMASA-2005-4 here.

    Summary: Local file inclusion vulnerability

    Description: In libraries/grab_globals.lib.php, the $__redirect parameter was not correctly validated, opening the door to a local file inclusion attack.

    Severity: We consider this vulnerability to be serious. However, it can be exploited only on systems not running in PHP safe mode (unless a deliberate hole was opened by including in open_basedir some paths containing sensitive data).

    Affected versions: phpMyAdmin versions 2.6.4 and 2.6.4-pl1.

    Solution: Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 2.6.4-pl2 or newer.

    phpMyAdmin is great proggie, but it can be very dangerous in the hands of evil-minded hackers. It's best to keep up with the latest updates!
