Security issues fixed :

  - PMASA-2016-16 (CVE-2016-5099, CWE-661): Self XSS, see     https://www.phpmyadmin.net/security/PMASA-2016-16/

  - PMASA-2016-15 (CVE-2016-5098, CWE-661): File Traversal     Protection Bypass on Error Reporting, see     https://www.phpmyadmin.net/security/PMASA-2016-15/

  - PMASA-2016-14 (CVE-2016-5097, CWE-661): Sensitive Data     in URL GET Query Parameters, see     https://www.phpmyadmin.net/security/PMASA-2016-14/

The phpmyadmin development team reports : Description Because user SQL queries are part of the URL, sensitive information made as part of a user query can be exposed by clicking on external links to attackers monitoring user GET query parameters or included in the webserver logs. Severity We consider this to be non-critical. Description A specially crafted attack could allow for special HTML characters to be passed as URL encoded values and displayed back as special characters in the page. Severity We consider this to be non-critical.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201701-32 (phpMyAdmin: Multiple vulnerabilities)

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

    A authenticated remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to       execute arbitrary PHP Code, inject SQL code, or to conduct Cross-Site       Scripting attacks.
    In certain configurations, an unauthenticated remote attacker could       cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Versions of phpMyAdmin prior to 4.6.2 are unpatched for an information disclosure vulnerability which may leak sensitive SQL details. Such versions contain a flaw that is triggered as user's SQL queries are part of the URL, which may disclose them when accessing external links from within the web application. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to potentially gain knowledge of sensitive information.
