Masako Oono discovered that phpMyAdmin, a web-based administration interface for MySQL, insufficiently sanitises input allowing a remote attacker to gather sensitive data through cross site scripting, provided that the user uses the Internet Explorer web browser.

This update also fixes a regression introduced in DSA 1641, that broke changing of the language and encoding in the login screen.
