CVE-2013-1655 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade puppet to version 2.6.18, 2.7.21, 3.1.1 or higher.
Overview
puppet is an automated configuration management tool.
Affected versions of the package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution on agents configured to accept kick connections. If the agent has been configured to listen for incoming connections (listen=true), and the agent's auth.conf has been configured to allow access to the run REST endpoint, then a malicious user could construct an HTTP request which could execute arbitrary code.
Notes:
- This vulnerability is not present in the default configuration of puppet agents.
- The severity of this issue is exacerbated by the fact that puppet agents typically run as root.
