Micah Anderson uploaded new packages for puppet which fixed the
following security problems: CVE-2012-1053 and CVE-2012-1054
CVE-2012-1053
Puppet runs execs with an unintended group privileges, potentially leading to privilege escalation.
CVE-2012-1054
The k5login type writes to untrusted locations, enabling local users to escalate their privileges if the k5login type is used.
For the squeeze-backports distribution the problems have been fixed in
version 2.7.11-1~bpo60+1.
