CVE-2011-4107: Infoleak

First published: Thu Nov 03 2011(Updated: )

A local file inclusion flaw was found in the way XML import plug-in of phpMyAdmin, a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the World Wide Web, performed import of malformed XML files. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted XML file, which once imported into the phpMyAdmin service instance would lead to arbitrary local file (accessible with the privileges of the phpMyAdmin user) read / retrieval.
