   An update that fixes 5 vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:

   Puppet's certificate authority issued Puppet agent
   certificates capable of impersonating the Puppet master.
   Compromised or rogue puppet agents could therefore use
   their certificates for MITM attacks (CVE-2011-3872).

   Note: If you've set the 'certdnsnames' option in your
   master's puppet.conf file merely installing the updated
   packages is not sufficient to fix this problem. You need to
   either pick a new DNS name for the master and reconfigure
   all agents to use it or re-new certificates on all agents.

   Please refer to the documentation in
   /usr/share/doc/packages/puppet/puppetlabs-cve20113872-0.0.5
   for detailed instructions and scripts.

   Puppetlabs' site also provides more information:
