NVD Description

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

phpMyAdmin before 2.11.5.1 stores the MySQL (1) username and (2) password, and the (3) Blowfish secret key, in cleartext in a Session file under /tmp, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information.
