Description Kurt Seifried 2012-04-05 04:06:28 UTC 
From Matthaus Litteken <matthaus>:

CVE-2012-1988 (High) [#13518] - Filebucket arbitrary code execution
This requires access to the cert on the agent and an unprivileged 
account on the master. By creating a path on the master in a 
world-writable location that matches a command string, one can 
then make a file bucket request to execute that command.
