  <description>
    <p>
    Oriol Torrent Santiago has discovered that phpMyAdmin fails to validate
    input to the "convcharset" variable, rendering it vulnerable to
    cross-site scripting attacks.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="low">
    <p>
    By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker can inject and
    execute malicious script code, potentially compromising the victim's
    browser.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All phpMyAdmin users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.6.2_rc1&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
