DESCRIPTION:
Eric Romang has reported a vulnerability in xMySQLadmin, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to perform certain actions on a
vulnerable system with escalated privileges.

The vulnerability is caused due to temporary files being created
insecurely when dropping a database. This can be exploited via
symlink attacks to delete arbitrary files with the privileges of the
xMySQLadmin user or disclose the contents of the database.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.0 and prior. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Grant only trusted users access to affected systems.
