Description Murray McAllister 2014-09-15 05:31:54 UTC 
The upstream phpMyAdmin PMASA-2014-10 advisory fixes the following issue:

""
By deceiving a logged-in user to click on a crafted URL, it is possible to perform remote code execution and in some cases, create a root account due to a DOM based XSS vulnerability in the micro history feature.

...

Versions 4.0.x (prior to 4.0.10.3), 4.1.x (prior to 4.1.14.4) and 4.2.x (prior to 4.2.8.1) are affected.
