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.

The vendor credits Richard Cunningham.
