NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream phpmyadmin package and not the phpmyadmin package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

libraries/auth/swekey/swekey.auth.lib.php in phpMyAdmin 3.x before 3.3.10.3 and 3.4.x before 3.4.3.2 does not properly manage sessions associated with Swekey authentication, which allows remote attackers to modify the SESSION superglobal array, other superglobal arrays, and certain swekey.auth.lib.php local variables via a crafted query string, a related issue to CVE-2011-2505.
