+    phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration
+    of MySQL databased over the Web.
+    </p>

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    One component of the phpMyAdmin software package (export.php) does not
+    properly verify input that is passed to it from a remote user.  Since the
+    input is used to include other files, it is possible to launch a directory
+    traversal attack.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    Private information could be gleaned from the remote server if an attacker
+    uses a malformed URL such as http://phpmyadmin.example.com/export.php?what=../../../[existing_file] 
+    </p>
+    <p>
+    In this scenario, the script does not sanitize the "what" argument passed
+    to it, allowing directory traversal attacks to take place, disclosing
+    the contents of files if the file is readable as the web-server user.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    The workaround is to either patch the export.php file using the 
+    referenced CVS patch or upgrade the software via Portage.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    Users are encouraged to upgrade to phpMyAdmin-2.5.6_rc1:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+    # emerge -pv ">=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.5.6_rc1"
+    # emerge ">=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.5.6_rc1"
+    # emerge clean</code>
