Hello Kurt, Steve, vendors, phpMyAdmin Security Team, 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 toarbitrary local file (accessible with the privileges of the phpMyAdmin user) read / retrieval.
