Zero Day phpMyAdmin Vulnerablity Patched by BitNinja

A new flaw on the horizon!

A new flaw has been discovered in phpMyAdmin, in which an attacker has the possibility to include files on the server.
This vulnerability is caused because of a portion of a code where the pages are redirected and loaded in phpMyAdmin.
Here are the steps, how it can be achieved:
1) First, the intruder has to be authenticated, after this procedure the sql query will create a session.
2) Invoking the  ../../../../../..../var/lib/sessionId the attack can be performed.
There are some exceptions though:
- $cfg['AllowArbitraryServer'] = true: attacker can specify any host he/she is already in control of, and execute arbitrary code on phpMyAdmin
- $cfg['ServerDefault'] = 0: this bypasses the login and runs the vulnerable code without any authentication.
