CVE-2016-5734 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Alpine:3.4 phpmyadmin to version 4.6.3-r0 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream phpmyadmin package and not the phpmyadmin package as distributed by Alpine.
See How to fix? for Alpine:3.4 relevant fixed versions and status.
phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.16, 4.4.x before 4.4.15.7, and 4.6.x before 4.6.3 does not properly choose delimiters to prevent use of the preg_replace e (aka eval) modifier, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a crafted string, as demonstrated by the table search-and-replace implementation.
