xss in phpmyadmin <= 2.8.1
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.
