3. Description:

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)
