    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Puppet. Please review

Impact :

    A local attacker could gain elevated privileges, or access and modify
      arbitrary files.  Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to spoof a
      Puppet Master or write X.509 Certificate Signing Requests to arbitrary
      locations.
  
Workaround :
