Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.11.5, a bugfix-only version containing a security fix.
Security announcement: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/security.php?issue=PMASA-2008-1
The release notes and download info are available on http://www.phpmyadmin.net.
Marc Delisle, for the team.
a big german IT news site (heise.de) has reported about our latest release, but find fault that the description is unclear what exactly the problem is
possible we should add the term used by stefan esser: "Delayed Cross Site Request Forgery"
and explain: another application could set a cookie for the root path '/' which could override phpMyAdmins _GET or _POST params, f.e. a cookie called sql_query would always overwrite the user submitted sql_query, caused by the fact PHP imports (be dafault) first GET than POST than COOKIE
In such security announcements, it's not always clear what is better for the whole community: provide a quasi-exploit or stay vague... I chose to stay vague.
