Open side navigation

## Details

Fabio Massimo Di Nitto discovered that cman did not correctly validate
the size of client messages. A local user could send a specially crafted
message and execute arbitrary code with cluster manager privileges or
crash the manager, leading to a denial of service.

## Update instructions

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
