phpMyAdmin Directory Traversal Vulnerability (CVE-2016-6614)

phpMyAdmin is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. Remote attackers may use a specially crafted request with directory-traversal sequences ('../') to retrieve sensitive information. This may aid in further attacks. phpMyAdmin 4.6.x prior to 4.6.4, 4.4.x prior to 4.4.15.8 and 4.0.x prior to 4.0.10.17 are vulnerable.
