Software Description: - puppet: Centralized configuration management Details: It was discovered that Puppet incorrectly handled certain HTTP GET requests. An attacker could use this flaw with a valid client certificate to retrieve arbitrary files from the Puppet master. (CVE-2012-3864) It was discovered that Puppet incorrectly handled Delete requests. If a Puppet master were reconfigured to allow the "Delete" method, an attacker on an authenticated host could use this flaw to delete arbitrary files from the Puppet server, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2012-3865) It was discovered that Puppet incorrectly set file permissions on the last_run_report.yaml file. An attacker could use this flaw to access sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 11.10 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2012-3866) It was discovered that Puppet incorrectly handled agent certificate names. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially crafted certificate and trick an administrator into signing a certificate that can then be used to man-in-the-middle agent nodes. (CVE-2012-3867) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: puppet-common 2.7.11-1ubuntu2.1 Ubuntu 11.10: puppet-common 2.7.1-1ubuntu3.7 Ubuntu 11.04: puppet-common 2.6.4-2ubuntu2.10 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: puppet-common 0.25.4-2ubuntu6.8 In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
