Updated phpmyadmin packages fix security vulnerabilities

Using a crafted SQL query, it was possible to produce an XSS on the SQL query form (PMASA-2013-8)(CVE-2013-4995).

In the setup/index.php, using a crafted # hash with a Javascript event, untrusted JS code could be executed. In the Display chart view, a chart title containing HTML code was rendered unescaped, leading to possible JavaScript code execution via events. A malicious user with permission to create databases or users having HTML tags in their name, could trigger an XSS vulnerability by issuing a sleep query with a long delay. In the server status monitor, the query parameters were shown unescaped. By configuring a malicious URL for the phpMyAdmin logo link in the navigation sidebar, untrusted script code could be executed when a user clicked the logo. The setup field for "List of trusted proxies for IP allow/deny" Ajax validation code returned the unescaped input on errors, leading to possible JavaScript execution by entering arbitrary HTML (PMASA-2013-9). Also, due to not properly validating the version.json file, which is fetched from the phpMyAdmin.net website, could lead to an XSS attack, if a crafted version.json file would be presented (PMASA-2013-11). (CVE-2013-4996, CVE-2013-4997)

By calling some scripts that are part of phpMyAdmin in an unexpected way, it is possible to trigger phpMyAdmin to display a PHP error message which contains the full path of the directory where phpMyAdmin is installed (PMASA-2013-12)(CVE-2013-4998, CVE-2013-5000)

When calling schema_export.php with crafted parameters, it is possible to trigger an XSS (PMASA-2013-14)(CVE-2013-5002).

Due to a missing validation of parameters passed to schema_export.php and pmd_pdf.php, it was possible to inject SQL statements that would run with the privileges of the control user. This gives read and write access to the tables of the configuration storage database, and if the control user has the necessary privileges, read access to some tables of the mysql database (PMASA-2013-15)(CVE-2013-5003).
