NVD Description

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

lib/puppet/network/authstore.rb in Puppet before 2.7.18, and Puppet Enterprise before 2.5.2, supports use of IP addresses in certnames without warning of potential risks, which might allow remote attackers to spoof an agent by acquiring a previously used IP address.
