Significant Fedora patch for phpMyAdmin resolves XSRF, CSRF, and local file inclusion security risks.
Upstream announcement: The phpMyAdmin team is pleased to announce the release of **phpMyAdmin version 4.8.4**

Summary

phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of

MySQL over the World Wide Web. Most frequently used operations are supported

by the user interface (managing databases, tables, fields, relations, indexes,

users, permissions), while you still have the ability to directly execute any

SQL statement.

Features include an intuitive web interface, support for most MySQL features

(browse and drop databases, tables, views, fields and indexes, create, copy,

drop, rename and alter databases, tables, fields and indexes, maintenance

server, databases and tables, with proposals on server configuration, execute,

edit and bookmark any SQL-statement, even batch-queries, manage MySQL users

and privileges, manage stored procedures and triggers), import data from CSV

and SQL, export data to various formats: CSV, SQL, XML, PDF, OpenDocument Text

and Spreadsheet, Word, Excel, LATEX and others, administering multiple servers,

creating PDF graphics of your database layout, creating complex queries using

Query-by-example (QBE), searching globally in a database or a subset of it,

transforming stored data into any format using a set of predefined functions,

like displaying BLOB-data as image or download-link and much more...

Upstream announcement: The phpMyAdmin team is pleased to announce the release

of **phpMyAdmin version 4.8.4**. Among other bug fixes, this contains several

important security fixes. The security fixes involve: * Local file

inclusion (https://www.phpmyadmin.net/security/PMASA-2018-6/), * XSRF/CSRF

vulnerabilities allowing a specially-crafted URL to perform harmful operations

(https://www.phpmyadmin.net/security/PMASA-2018-7/), and * an XSS

vulnerability in the navigation tree

(https://www.phpmyadmin.net/security/PMASA-2018-8/) In addition to the security

fixes, this release also includes these bug fixes and more as part of our

regular release cycle: * Issue with changing theme * Ensure that database

names with a dot ('.') are handled properly when DisableIS is true * Fix for

message "Error while copying database (pma__column_info)" * Move operation

causes "SELECT * FROM `undefined`" error * When logging with $cfg['AuthLog']

to syslog, successful login messages were not logged when $cfg['AuthLogSuccess']

was true * Multiple errors and regressions with Designer And several more.

Complete notes are in the ChangeLog file included with this release.
