How to fix?

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.

Red Hat OpenStack Essex and Folsom creates the /var/log/puppet directory with world-readable permissions, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information such as Puppet log files.
