DESCRIPTION:
A weakness has been reported in Red Hat Conga, which can be exploited
by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
The weakness is caused due to "luci" using an insecure secret key by
default, which can be exploited to e.g. bypass the authentication
mechanism via fake ticket cookies.
SOLUTION:
Manually set a new secret key. An updated SPEC file to generate and
apply new RPM packages is available via the GIT repository.
