Luci is a web-based high availability administration application.

It was discovered that luci used eval() on inputs containing strings from the cluster configuration file when generating its web pages. An attacker with privileges to create or edit the cluster configuration could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code as the luci user on a host running luci. (CVE-2014-3593)

This issue was discovered by Jan Pokorny of Red Hat.

These updated luci packages also include several bug fixes and multiple enhancements. Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory.
