Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 puppet to version 3.8.5-2ubuntu0.1+esm1 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 Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.
Versions of Puppet prior to 4.10.1 will deserialize data off the wire (from the agent to the server, in this case) with a attacker-specified format. This could be used to force YAML deserialization in an unsafe manner, which would lead to remote code execution. This change constrains the format of data on the wire to PSON or safely decoded YAML.
