Exploit for phpMyAdmin

    I just went into my inbox and saw a letter from my provider where I rent VPS, that an exploit appeared for phpmyadmin. Here is the letter itself:

    Good evening! According to verified information, there is an exploit for PhpMyAdmin that allows hacking the server, both physical and virtual. It has already been used for at least a couple of days, and as a result of its actions there may be the presence of /tmp/vm.c and / tmp / dd_ssh files, which are malicious software. Therefore, it is urgent to update PhpMyAdmin.
    == Debian Upgrade Instructions ==
    Here is a report on this issue from the Debian Security Team: www.debian.org/security/2010/dsa-2034Before upgrading, check your version of Debian: cat / etc / debian_version 5.0.5 If the numbers are 5.0. *, Then you have Lenny and continue reading the instructions. If 4.0. *, Then you should resort to the services of third-party administrators (or our support) so that they upgrade the system to Lenny. To upgrade PhpMyAdmin to Debian 5 Lenny, do the following: apt-get update; apt-get upgrade -y phpmyadmin; If you have administrative skills, it is better to upgrade the entire system: apt-get upgrade -y; == CentOS upgrade instructions == yum upgrade -y phpmyadmin; Or ideally, if you have administrative skills, then update the entire system: yum update -y;

    If there is any detailed information send to the PM publish in the topic.
