Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Upstream announcement :

**phpMyAdmin 4.9.2 is released**

2019-11-22

Welcome to phpMyAdmin 4.9.2, a bugfix release that also contains a security fix.

This security fix is part of an ongoing effort to improve the security of the Designer feature and is designated **PMASA-2019-5**. There is also an improvement for how we sanitize Git version information shown on the home page, thanks to Ali Hubail.

This release includes fixes for many bugs, including :

 - Fixes for the 'Failed to set session cookie' error which relates to the cookie name. In some cases, data stored in the cookie (such as the previously-used user account) may not be loaded from a previous phpMyAdmin cookie the first time you run version 4.9.2

 - Fix for Advisor with MySQL 8.0.3 and newer

 - Fix PHP deprecation errors

 - Fix a situation where exporting users after a delete query could remove users

 - Fix incorrect 'You do not have privileges to manipulate with the users!' warning

 - Fix copying a database's privileges and several other problems moving columns with MariaDB

 - Fix for phpMyAdmin not selecting all the values when using shift-click to select during Export

There are many, many more bug fixes thanks to the efforts of our developers and other contributors.
