CVE-2011-3871

Publication date 1 October 2011

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.5, 2.6.x before 2.6.11, and 0.25.x, when running in --edit mode, uses a predictable file name, which allows local users to run arbitrary Puppet code or trick a user into editing arbitrary files.
