Description:
Cedric Cochin has reported some vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed to the "zero_rows" and "sql_query" parameters in "read_dump.php" and the "PmaAbsoluteUri" parameter is not sufficiently sanitised before being returned to users. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML or script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site.
