Description Kurt Seifried 2013-03-10 01:50:14 UTC 
Moses Mendoza (moses) reports:

CVE-2013-2274 - Remote code execution on master from authenticated clients
* Affected versions: 2.6.x
* Patched versions: 2.6.18

A bug in Puppet allows an authenticated client to execute arbitrary
code on the puppet master in its default configuration. Given a valid
certificate and private key, a client can construct an HTTP PUT
request that is authorized to save the client's own report, but the
request will actually cause the puppet master to execute arbitrary
code.
