CVE-2012-1906 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Debian security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Debian:unstable.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream puppet package and not the puppet package as distributed by Debian.
Puppet 2.6.x before 2.6.15 and 2.7.x before 2.7.13, and Puppet Enterprise (PE) Users 1.0, 1.1, 1.2.x, 2.0.x, and 2.5.x before 2.5.1 uses predictable file names when installing Mac OS X packages from a remote source, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files or install arbitrary packages via a symlink attack on a temporary file in /tmp.
