It was discovered that Puppet incorrectly handled the resource_type service. A local attacker on the master could use this issue to execute arbitrary Ruby files. (CVE-2013-4761)

It was discovered that Puppet incorrectly handled permissions on the modules it installed. Modules could be installed with the permissions that existed when they were built, possibly exposing them to a local attacker. (CVE-2013-4956).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
