Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.70969
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-1238-1 (puppet-common)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to puppet-common announced via advisory USN-1238-1. Details: It was discovered that Puppet incorrectly handled the non-default certdnsnames option when generating certificates. If this setting was added to puppet.conf, the puppet master?s DNS alt names were added to the X.509 Subject Alternative Name field of all certificates, not just the puppet master?s certificate. An attacker that has an incorrect agent certificate in his possession can use it to impersonate the puppet master in a man-in-the-middle attack. Solution: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 11.10: puppet-common 2.7.1-1ubuntu3.2 Ubuntu 11.04: puppet-common 2.6.4-2ubuntu2.5 Ubuntu 10.10: puppet-common 2.6.1-0ubuntu2.4 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: puppet-common 0.25.4-2ubuntu6.5 http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-1238-1 CVSS Score: 2.6 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:H/Au:NR/C:N/I:P/A:N
