libraries/File.class.php in phpMyAdmin 2.11.x before 2.11.10 uses predictable filenames for temporary files, which has unknown impact and attack vectors.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201201-01 (phpMyAdmin: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpMyAdmin. Please       review the CVE identifiers and phpMyAdmin Security Advisories referenced       below for details.
  Impact :

    Remote attackers might be able to insert and execute PHP code, include       and execute local PHP files, or perform Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)       attacks via various vectors.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpMyAdmin, a tool to administer MySQL over the web. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2008-7251     phpMyAdmin may create a temporary directory, if the     configured directory does not exist yet, with insecure     filesystem permissions.

  - CVE-2008-7252     phpMyAdmin uses predictable filenames for temporary     files, which may lead to a local denial of service     attack or privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2009-4605     The setup.php script shipped with phpMyAdmin may     unserialize untrusted data, allowing for cross site     request forgery.

The remote web server is running a version of phpMyAdmin earlier than 2.11.10.  Such versions are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities : 

  - A cross-site request forgery attack because the application uses the 'unserialize()' PHP function on potentially unsafe data in the setup script.(CVE-2009-4605)

  - An insecure file creation and deletion vulnerability due to the way phpMyAdmin creates temporary files.

The use of unserialize() on POST data which could have lead to remote code execution (CVE-2009-4605) has been fixed as well as some minor temporary file issues (CVE-2008-7251, CVE-2008-7252).
