Hello,
your post and linked article does not contain enough information to evaluate this problem.
The full list of vulnerabilities of phpMyAdmin is available from
http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/security/. Everybody should upgrade when new version with any fix is available. I would personally recommend all admins using this software package to subscribe to
RSS feed on this page.
We are distributing a customised version phpMyAdmin with Moodle, it is updated regularly and each new version is announced at
http://moodle.org/security/ - each Moodle
server administrator should be subscribed there, you do not need to watch the phpMyAdmin site directly
Our customisations and server requirements sometimes neutralise some vulnerabilities, for example Moodle is forcing admins to turn off evil register globals which were the biggest source of security problems in PHP applications.
