HTTP: PhpMyAdmin preg_replace null termination remote code execution.

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against PhpMyAdmin. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.

Extended Description

phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.16, 4.4.x before 4.4.15.7, and 4.6.x before 4.6.3 does not properly choose delimiters to prevent use of the preg_replace e (aka eval) modifier, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a crafted string, as demonstrated by the table search-and-replace implementation.
