Description Kurt Seifried 2012-07-11 04:56:47 UTC
From puppet labs: CVE-2012-3864 (Arbitrary File Read)

A bug in Puppet 2.6.16 and 2.7.17 allows authenticated clients to read
arbitrary files from the puppet master.

Given a valid certificate and private key, it is possible to construct an
HTTP GET request that will return the contents of an arbitrary file on the
Puppet master. These requests can retrieve any file that the puppet master
has read-access to.

Resolved in Puppet 2.6.17, 2.7.18

Are tracking bugs for epel-5 and epel-6 required as well?  They include 2.6.x so they are impacted by the same CVE's as fedora-16.

I have builds in progress for f16 and el{5,6}.
