NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream puppet package and not the puppet package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Puppet Module Tool (PMT), as used in Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.23 and 3.2.x before 3.2.4, and Puppet Enterprise 2.8.x before 2.8.3 and 3.0.x before 3.0.1, installs modules with weak permissions if those permissions were used when the modules were originally built, which might allow local users to read or modify those modules depending on the original permissions.
