Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpMyAdmin, a tool

a remote attacker to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.

CVE-2010-4481

Display of PHP's phpinfo() function was available to world, but only
if this functionality had been enabled (defaults to off). This may
leak some information about the host system.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in

For the testing (squeeze) and unstable distribution (sid), these problems
have been fixed in version 3.3.7-3.

We recommend that you upgrade your phpmyadmin package.
