Debian DLA-481-2 : phpmyadmin regression update

high Nessus Plugin ID 91243

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The previous security upload broke the search pages in phpMyAdmin.
This was caused by a broken patch applied to fix CVE-2016-2040.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 4:3.4.11.1-2+deb7u4.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected phpmyadmin package.
