by Sebastian Mendel 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

select_lang.lib.php#346: $convcharset = isset($GLOBALS['cfg']['DefaultCharset']) ? $GLOBALS['cfg']['DefaultCharset'] : 'en-utf-8'; shouldn't this be 'utf-8' without 'en'? -- Sebastian

[Phpmyadmin-devel] [Fwd: Re: CVE for phpMyAdmin PMASA-2007-6]
by Thijs Kinkhorst 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Hi devs, I requested a CVE id to be assigned for PMASA-2007-6, which is quoted below. If I have spotted it correctly, I see not much use of CVE id's within phpMyAdmin. It would be very helpful for security workers in e.g. distributions if the PMASA advisories would mention the corresponding CVE numbers when such a number is or becomes available. It could also have a place in the relevant changelog entry that fixes the problem. Would you consider doing that? Thanks Thijs (also on behalf of the Debian security team) ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: Re: CVE for phpMyAdmin PMASA-2007-6 From: "Steven M.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] concatenate locales
by Sebastian Mendel 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

Hi, $strTable . ' ' . htmlspecialchars($table) . ' ' . $strHasBeenAltered; should become sprintf($strTableAlteredSuccessfully, $table); 'Table %1 has been altered successfully' or? (i know in English it makes no difference, but in other foreign languages it could) for Example in German it sounds better to use 'Die Tabelle' (the table) instead of just 'Tabelle' (table) in this case -- Sebastian
