Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpPgAdmin, a tool
to administrate PostgreSQL database over the web. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2007-2865

Cross-site scripting vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject
arbitrary web script or HTML via the server parameter.

Cross-site scripting vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject
arbitrary web script or HTML via PHP_SELF.

CVE-2008-5587

Directory traversal vulnerability allows remote attackers to read

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
