+ <background>
+ <p>Puppet is a system configuration management tool written in Ruby.</p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Puppet:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Puppet uses predictable file names for temporary files
+ (CVE-2012-1906).
+ </li>
+ <li>REST requests for a file in a remote filebucket are not handled
+ properly by overriding filebucket storage locations (CVE-2012-1986).
+ </li>
+ <li>REST requests for a file in a remote filebucket are not handled
+ properly by reading streams or writing files on the Puppet master's
+ file system (CVE-2012-1987).
+ </li>
+ <li>File name paths are not properly sanitized from bucket requests
+ (CVE-2012-1988).
+ </li>
+ <li>The Telnet utility in Puppet does not handle temporary files securely
+ (CVE-2012-1989).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>A local attacker with access to agent SSL keys could possibly execute
+ arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, cause a Denial of
+ Service condition, or perform symlink attacks to overwrite or read
+ arbitrary files on the Puppet master.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All Puppet users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-admin/puppet-2.7.13"
+ </code>
+
