DESCRIPTION:
Toni Koivunen has reported a vulnerability in phpMyAdmin, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct HTTP response splitting
attacks.

Some input passed to "libraries/header_http.inc.php" isn't properly
sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to
include arbitrary HTTP headers in a response sent to the user.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

It is also possible to disclose the full path to certain scripts by
accessing them directly.

The vulnerability has been reported in versions prior to 2.6.4-pl4
and in version 2.7.0-beta1.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.6.4-pl4.
