NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream puppet-tripleo package and not the puppet-tripleo package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

puppet-tripleo before versions 5.5.0, 6.2.0 is vulnerable to an access-control flaw in the IPtables rules management, which allowed the creation of TCP/UDP rules with empty port values. If SSL is enabled, a malicious user could use these open ports to gain access to unauthorized resources.
