Descriptions

The mcollective-sshkey-security plugin before 0.5.1 for Puppet uses a server-specified identifier as part of a path where a file is written. A compromised server could use this to write a file to an arbitrary location on the client with the filename appended with the string "_pub.pem".

El plugin mcollective-sshkey-security, en versiones anteriores a la 0.5.1 para Puppet, emplea un identificador especificado por el servidor como parte de una ruta en la que se escribe un archivo. Un servidor comprometido podría usar esto para escribir un archivo en una ubicación arbitraria en el cliente con el nombre de archivo anexado con la cadena "_pub.pem".
