Description David Walser 2015-05-15 16:24:54 CEST

Upstream has issued advisories on May 13:
http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/security/PMASA-2015-2.php
http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/security/PMASA-2015-3.php

It turns out that phpMyAdmin 4.1.x is affected by these issues, but it is no longer supported upstream.  Easiest way forward is updating to a supported version, so I'll resync Mageia 4 with Mageia 5 and move to 4.2.x.

Updated packages (4.2.13.3) uploaded for Mageia 4 and Cauldron.

Advisory:
========================

Updated phpmyadmin package fixes security vulnerabilities:

In phpMyAdmin before 4.2.13.3, by deceiving a user to click on a crafted URL,
it is possible to alter the configuration file being generated with phpMyAdmin
setup (CVE-2015-3902).

In phpMyAdmin before 4.2.13.3, a vulnerability in the API call to GitHub can
be exploited to perform a man-in-the-middle attack (CVE-2015-3903).

With this update, the phpmyadmin package has been updated to the 4.2 branch,
which has some additional changes and new features.  The 4.1 branch is no
longer supported.
