Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-1238-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'puppet' package(s) announced via the USN-1238-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'puppet' package(s) announced via the USN-1238-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: 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 primary server's DNS alt names were added to the X.509 Subject Alternative Name field of all certificates, not just the puppet primary server's certificate. An attacker that has an incorrect agent certificate in his possession can use it to impersonate the puppet primary server in a machine-in-the-middle attack. Affected Software/OS: 'puppet' package(s) on Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 10.10, Ubuntu 11.04, Ubuntu 11.10. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 2.6 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
