DESCRIPTION:
A weakness has been discovered in phpMyAdmin, which can be exploited
by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks.

Input passed via the "type" and "error" parameters to error.php is
not properly verified before being used. This can be exploited to
render limited HTML content in a user's browser session in context of
an affected site and e.g. conduct spoofing attacks.

The weakness is confirmed in version 3.3.8.1. Other versions may also
be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
