CWE-295  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 puppet to version 3.7.0-1 or higher.

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.

The default vhost configuration file in Puppet before 3.6.2 does not include the SSLCARevocationCheck directive, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a revoked certificate when a Puppet master runs with Apache 2.4.
