Hi,
This is patch level 2 for phpMyAdmin 2.7.0; in some MySQL 4.0.x
installations, the dialog to create a table was not displayed.
Marc Delisle, for the team
Hi,
We have to inform you that phpMyAdmin 2.7.0 has a newly introduced vulnerability
in it, which was reported to us two days after the release, and fixed
immediately. A formal security alert will be posted on http://www.phpmyadmin.net
