Synopsis

A web application running on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Puppet install on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A remote command execution vulnerability exists in the MCollective plugin due to unsafe YAML deserialization. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands. (CVE-2017-2292, CVE-2017-2295)

- An arbitrary package install vulnerability exists in the MCollective plugin due to unsafe default configuration. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to install or remove packages on all managed agents.
(CVE-2017-2293)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the MCollective plugin due to unsafe storage of server private keys. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to view sensitive private keys.
(CVE-2017-2294)
- An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in labled RBAC access tokens. An unauthenticated, attacker can exploit this, to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary actions of users configured to use labeled RBAC access tokens. This issue has been fixed in Puppet Enterprise 2016.4.5 and 2017.2.1. This only affects users with labeled tokens, which is not the default for tokens. (CVE-2017-2297)

Solution

Upgrade to Puppet Enterprise version 2016.4.5 / 2017.2.1 or later.
