NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream phpmyadmin package and not the phpmyadmin package as distributed by Ubuntu.

phpMyAdmin 3.5.2.2, as distributed by the cdnetworks-kr-1 mirror during an unspecified time frame in 2012, contains an externally introduced modification (Trojan Horse) in server_sync.php, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via an eval injection attack.
