NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream puppet package and not the puppet package as distributed by Debian.

The Puppet Communications Protocol in Puppet Enterprise 2015.3.x before 2015.3.3 does not properly validate certificates for the broker node, which allows remote non-whitelisted hosts to prevent runs from triggering via unspecified vectors.
