DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in phpMyAdmin, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Certain input passed to setup.php is not properly sanitised before
being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context
of an affected site.

NOTE: Successful exploitation requires that installation
best-practices have not been followed and the config directory is
left writable.

The vulnerability is reported in version 3.4.5. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.4.6 or apply patches.
