Mandriva: Updated phpMyAdmin packages fix multiple vulnerabilities  04 July 2008  Print E-mail

Posted by Benjamin D. Thomas   
Mandrake A few vulnerabilities and security-related issues have been fixed in phpMyAdmin since the 2.11.2.2 release. This update provides version 2.11.7 which is the latest stable release of phpMyAdmin and fixes CVE-2008-1149, CVE-2008-1567, CVE-2008-1924, and CVE-2008-2960. No configuration changes should be required since the previous update (version 2.11.2.2). If upgrading from older versions, it may be necessary to reconfigure phpMyAdmin.
