CVE-2016-9860  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin to version 4.0.10.18, 4.4.15.9, 4.6.5 or higher.

Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to the configuration setting $cfg['AllowArbitraryServer'] being set to true. An unauthenticated user can cause a denial of service condition by sending specially crafted requests. This is only exploitable if $cfg['AllowArbitraryServer'] is enabled, which is not the default setting.
