How to fix?

Upgrade phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin to version 4.0.10.17, 4.4.15.8, 4.6.4 or higher.

Overview

phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin is a web interface for MySQL and MariaDB.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Resource Consumption ('Resource Exhaustion') due to the improper handling of temporary files during the import of ESRI files. An attacker can cause a denial of service by exploiting the failure to delete temporary files under certain conditions.

Note: This doesn't compile with PHP7.
