Description

phpMyAdmin contains a flaw that may allow a remote malicious user to execute arbitrary commands. The issue arises due to the eval() function not properly checking input within tbl_copy.php which can be exploited by sending a specially crafted URL to the page. It is possible that the flaw may allow remote execution of arbitrary commands within the permissions context of the web server's user and group. This could result in a loss of system integrity.
