Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Puppet, the worst of which |
19 |
could lead to execution of arbitrary code. |

|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|

Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Puppet: |
38 |
|
39 |
* Puppet uses predictable file names for temporary files |
40 |
(CVE-2012-1906). |
41 |
* REST requests for a file in a remote filebucket are not handled |
42 |
properly by overriding filebucket storage locations (CVE-2012-1986). |
43 |
* REST requests for a file in a remote filebucket are not handled |
44 |
properly by reading streams or writing files on the Puppet master's |
45 |
file system (CVE-2012-1987). |
46 |
* File name paths are not properly sanitized from bucket requests |
47 |
(CVE-2012-1988). |
48 |
* The Telnet utility in Puppet does not handle temporary files securely |
49 |
(CVE-2012-1989). |

Impact |
52 |
====== |
53 |
|
54 |
A local attacker with access to agent SSL keys could possibly execute |
55 |
arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, cause a Denial of |
56 |
Service condition, or perform symlink attacks to overwrite or read |
57 |
arbitrary files on the Puppet master. |
58 |
|
59 |
Workaround |
60 |
========== |
61 |
|
62 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
63 |
|
64 |
Resolution |
65 |
========== |
66 |
|
67 |
All Puppet users should upgrade to the latest version: |
68 |
|
69 |
# emerge --sync |
70 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/puppet-2.7.13" |
71 |
