Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2077-2
Posted Jan 10, 2014
Authored by Ubuntu | Site security.ubuntu.com

Ubuntu Security Notice 2077-2 - USN-2077-1 fixed a vulnerability in Puppet. The upstream patch introduced a regression resulting in the default file mode being incorrect. This update fixes the problem. It was discovered that Puppet incorrectly handled temporary files. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to overwrite arbitrary files. In the default installation of Ubuntu, this should be prevented by the Yama link restrictions. Various other issues were also addressed.
