Descriptions
The pxp-agent component in Puppet Enterprise 2015.3.x before 2015.3.3 and Puppet Agent 1.3.x before 1.3.6 does not properly validate server certificates, which might allow remote attackers to spoof brokers and execute arbitrary commands via a crafted certificate.
El componente pxp-agent en Puppet Enterprise 2015.3.x en versiones anteriores a 2015.3.3 y Puppet Agent 1.3.x en versiones anteriores a 1.3.6 no valida adecuadamente certificados de servidor, lo que podría permitir a atacantes remotos espiar brokers y ejecutar comandos arbitrarios a través de un certificado manipulado.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Puppet Server and Agent, the worst of which could lead to arbitrary code execution. Versions less than 1.4.2 are affected.
