GLSA-201208-02 : Puppet: Multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201208-02 (Puppet: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Puppet: Puppet uses predictable file names for temporary files (CVE-2012-1906). REST requests for a file in a remote filebucket are not handled properly by overriding filebucket storage locations (CVE-2012-1986). 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). File name paths are not properly sanitized from bucket requests (CVE-2012-1988). The Telnet utility in Puppet does not handle temporary files securely (CVE-2012-1989). Impact : 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. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
