    Summary: Updated phpmyadmin packages fix security vulnerability

    Details: A vulnerability was discovered where the restrictions caused by $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false are bypassed under certain PHP versions. This can allow the login of users who have no password set even if the administrator has set $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] to false (which is also the default).
