Title:	Amazon Linux: Security Advisory (ALAS-2011-11)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'puppet' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2011-11 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'puppet' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2011-11 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.5, 2.6.x before 2.6.11, and 0.25.x, when running in --edit mode, uses a predictable file name, which allows local users to run arbitrary Puppet code or trick a user into editing arbitrary files. Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.5, 2.6.x before 2.6.11, and 0.25.x allows local users to modify the permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the SSH authorized_keys file. Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.5, 2.6.x before 2.6.11, and 0.25.x allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the .k5login file. Affected Software/OS: 'puppet' package(s) on Amazon Linux. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.3 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:C/A:C
