Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.71609
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-1506-1 (puppet-common)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to puppet-common
announced via advisory USN-1506-1.

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)

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

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
