DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Puppet, which can be exploited
by malicious users to disclose potentially sensitive information and
manipulate certain data.

The security issue is caused due to Puppet not properly restricting
access under certain conditions, which can be exploited to e.g.
disclose certain information or manipulate certain resources.

Successful exploitation against servers requires that the auth.conf
file is missing and the attacker has SSL credentials of another node.
Successful exploitation against clients requires that the auth.conf
file is missing, the client is running as daemon in "listen" mode,
the attacker's host is in namespaceauth.conf, and the attacker has
SSL credentials of another node.

The security issue is reported in versions 2.6.x prior to 2.6.4.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.6.4.

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