Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that Puppet incorrectly handled the non-default
 'certdnsnames' option when generating certificates. If this setting was
 added to puppet.conf, the puppet primary server's DNS alt names were
 added to the X.509 Subject Alternative Name field of all certificates,
 not just the puppet primary server' certificate. An attacker that has an
 incorrect agent certificate in his possession can use it to impersonate
 the puppet primary server in a machine-in-the-middle attack.");
