    <p>
    phpMyAdmin is a free web-based database administration tool.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    Richard Cunningham reported that phpMyAdmin uses the $_REQUEST variable
    of $_GET and $_POST as a source for its parameters.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="low">
    <p>
    An attacker could entice a user to visit a malicious web application
    that sets an "sql_query" cookie and is hosted on the same domain as
    phpMyAdmin, and thereby conduct SQL injection attacks with the
    privileges of the user authenticating in phpMyAdmin afterwards.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All phpMyAdmin users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.11.5&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
