CVE-2012-6120

Red Hat OpenStack Essex y Folsom crea el directorio /var/log/puppet con permisos de lectura para todos, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener información sensible, como los archivos de registro de Puppet.

Puppet allows provisioning, patching, and configuration of clients to be managed and automated. A flaw was found in how Puppet handled certain HTTP PUT requests. An attacker with valid authentication credentials, and authorized to save to the authenticated client's own report, could construct a malicious request that could possibly cause the Puppet master to execute arbitrary code. A flaw was found in how Puppet handled the "template" and "inline_template" functions during catalog compilation. If an authenticated attacker were to requests its catalog from the Puppet master, it could possibly result in arbitrary code execution when the catalog is compiled.
