Description Kurt Seifried 2013-08-14 07:30:49 UTC 
Moses Mendoza (moses) reports:

By using the resource_type service a user can cause puppet to load
arbitrary ruby files from filesystem on the puppet master. This is not
enabled by default but may be enabled in auth.conf. Exploit requires
local file system access to the Puppet Master.
