Description:
Cedric Cochin has discovered a vulnerability in phpMyAdmin, allowing malicious people to gain knowledge of sensitive information.
The "export.php" script does not sanitise user input passed to the "what" parameter properly, which can be exploited via classic directory traversal attacks to disclose the content of arbitrary files.
Example:
http://[victim]/export.php?what=../../../[existing_file]
The vulnerability affects version 2.5.5-pl1 and prior.
