CVE-2016-6613 Open this link in a new tabHow 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 Information Exposure Through an Error Message due to the improper handling of symbolic links in the UploadDir feature. An attacker can gain access to files that phpMyAdmin is allowed to read but the attacker is not, by crafting a symbolic link to such a file. This exposure occurs when the symbolic link points to a restricted file, effectively bypassing the intended file access restrictions.
