although >= v2.8.2 isn't vulnerable anymore, i still think this issue is important because phpmyadmin.net still offers 2.7.2-pl2 for download on their website and this is a vulnerable version. it's an xss bug that wasn't fixed properly (reference: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/security.php?issue=PMASA-2005-3) $convcharset is still vulnerable for xss attackts but only in IE < 7. All phpmyadmin <= 2.8.1 seem to be vulnerable. an Advisory can be found here: http://www.virtuax.be/advisories/Advisory1-12012007.txt
