By calling some scripts that are part of phpMyAdmin in an unexpected
way, it is possible to trigger phpMyAdmin to display a PHP error
message which contains the full path of the directory where phpMyAdmin
is installed.

We consider these vulnerabilities to be non-critical.

This path disclosure is possible on servers where the recommended
setting of the PHP configuration directive display_errors is set to
on, which is against the recommendations given in the PHP manual for a
production server."
