DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Puppet, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to disclose certain sensitive
information, by malicious users to disclose and manipulate certain
data, and by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

1) Certain unspecified input is not properly verified before being
used to read files. This can be exploited read to arbitrary files
from local resources via a specially crafted request.

2) Certain unspecified input is not properly verified before being
used to delete files. This can be exploited to delete files from
local resources via a specially crafted request.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that deletion
is enabled (disabled by default).

3) The application stores the last run report with world-readable
permissions, which can be exploited to disclose the e.g.
configuration changes of an agent.

4) An input validation error within the certificate signing mechanism
does not properly verify the text order displayed on the certificate.
This can be exploited to trick an administrator into signing an
invalid certificate.

The vulnerabilities are reported in Puppet versions prior to 2.6.17
and 2.7.18 and Puppet Enterprise versions prior to 2.5.2.

SOLUTION:
Update to the latest version or apply hotfixes.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
