Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

phpMyAdmin 4.6.5.1 (2016-11-26) ===============================

A patch-level release fixing two small issues :

 - an issue affecting a small number of users using $cfg['Servers'][$i]['hide_db'] or $cfg['Servers'][$i]['only_db'].

 - an issue affecting the create table dialog where the partition selection tool was overzealous and made it difficult to create a new table.

There are also minor improvements to the Czech language file.

phpMyAdmin 4.6.5 (2016-11-25) =============================

A release containing security fixes and bug fixes. Aside from the security improvements, many bugs have been fixed including :

 - Fix for expanding in navigation pane

 - Reintroduced a simplified version of PmaAbsoluteUri directive (needed with reverse proxies)

 - Fix editing of ENUM/SET/DECIMAL field structures

 - Improvements to the parser

And many, many more. Please see the ChangeLog for full details of bugs fixes.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected phpMyAdmin package.
