Description Vincent Danen 2012-04-02 15:28:41 UTC 
It was reported that phpMyAdmin 3.4.x suffers from a path disclosure flaw due to the missing verification of a file's presence.  The show_config_errors.php script did not first check for the existence of the configuration file, so if the configuration file did not exist, it would display an error message with the full path of this file.

For the error message to be displayed, the server must be configured to have error_reporting set to E_ALL and display_errors to On in php.ini; these settings are not recommended for a production PHP server.

This has been corrected in 3.4.10.2 via the following commit:

https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/commit/c51817d3b8cb05ff54dca9373c0667e29b8498d4
