This version upgrade of phpMyAdmin fixed various security issues (SQL injection, XSS, full path disclosure, Clickjacking)

Versions of phpMyAdmin 3.5.x or 4.0.x earlier than 4.0.5 are affected by a clickjacking vulnerability within the 'Header.class.php' script due to insufficient user input sanitation. An attacker could leverage this to bypass the application's clickjacking protection mechanisms.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201311-02 (phpMyAdmin: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpMyAdmin. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote authenticated attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to       execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process running       phpMyAdmin, inject SQL code, or to conduct Cross-Site Scripting and       Clickjacking attacks.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

According to its self-identified version number, the phpMyAdmin 3.5.x or 4.x install hosted on the remote web server is earlier than 4.0.5 and, therefore, contains a flaw where the 'Header.class.php' script does not properly sanitize input.  This could allow attackers to bypass the application's clickjacking protections.
