Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'puppet' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2013-219 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Unspecified vulnerability in Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.23 and 3.2.x before 3.2.4, and Puppet Enterprise 2.8.x before 2.8.3 and 3.0.x before 3.0.1, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Ruby programs from the master via the resource_type service. NOTE: this vulnerability can only be exploited utilizing unspecified 'local file system access' to the Puppet Master.
