Synopsis: Moderate: luci security, bug fix, and enhancement update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2013:1603-2
Issue Date: 2013-11-21
CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-4481
 CVE-2013-4482
--

A flaw was found in the way the luci service was initialized. If a system
administrator started the luci service from a directory that was writable
to by a local user, that user could use this flaw to execute arbitrary
code as the root or luci user. (CVE-2013-4482)

A flaw was found in the way luci generated its configuration file. The
file was created as world readable for a short period of time, allowing a
local user to gain access to the authentication secrets stored in the
configuration file. (CVE-2013-4481)

After installing this update, the luci service will be restarted
automatically.
