phpMyAdmin CVE-2014-8959 Local File Include Vulnerability

phpMyAdmin is prone to a local file-include vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit this issue to obtain potentially sensitive information and execute arbitrary local scripts. This could allow the attacker to compromise the application and the computer; other attacks are also possible.

phpMyAdmin 4.0.x prior to 4.0.10.6, 4.1.x prior to 4.1.14.7 and 4.2.x prior to 4.2.12 are vulnerable.
