0004857: Exploit in the wild for phpmyadmin
Hi Peter,

There is an in the wild exploit for phpmyadmin right now:
http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/security/PMASA-2011-10.php [^]
http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/security/PMASA-2011-5.php [^]

Time for an upgrade (and likely a notice on users@/announce@?)

Thanks
-Ben
From our local security team:

"GET /phpmyadmin/index.php?session_to_unset=" followed by a few
variables/values, and quite a bit of encoded attack code.

That should tell you if you were attacked (but not if the attacks were
successful). The attack will likely drop a backdoor on your system. Look for
a subsequent successful connection to the backdoor to determine if you've been
hacked.

Luckily I had 3.4.5 sitting in experimental so I just uploaded it to unstable.
