Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : puppet (MDVSA-2013:186)

high Nessus Plugin ID 67104

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Updated puppet packages fix remote code execution vulnerability

When making REST api calls, the puppet master takes YAML from an untrusted client, deserializes it, and then calls methods on the resulting object. A YAML payload can be crafted to cause the deserialization to construct an instance of any class available in the ruby process, which allows an attacker to execute code contained in the payload (CVE-2013-3567).

Solution

Update the affected puppet and / or puppet-server packages.
