CVE-2013-4761 [MEDIUM] Puppet vulnerabilities
Title: Puppet vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in Puppet.
It was discovered that Puppet incorrectly handled the resource_type
service. A local attacker on the primary server could use this issue to
execute arbitrary Ruby files. (CVE-2013-4761)
It was discovered that Puppet incorrectly handled permissions on the
modules it installed. Modules could be installed with the permissions that
existed when they were built, possibly exposing them to a local attacker.
(CVE-2013-4956)
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

CVE-2013-4761 Puppet: resource_type service code execution
Moses Mendoza ([email protected]) reports:
By using the resource_type service a user can cause puppet to load
arbitrary ruby files from filesystem on the puppet master. This is not
enabled by default but may be enabled in auth.conf. Exploit requires
local file system access to the Puppet Master.

CVE-2013-4956 Puppet: Local Privilege Escalation/Arbitrary Code Execution
Moses Mendoza ([email protected]) reports:
Puppet Module Tool does not control permissions of modules it
installs, instead transferring permissions that existed when the
module is built. This could allow a malicious user to write to modify
the puppet module if their local username is the same as the username
originally used to create the module and the user has write permission
to the puppet module directory.
