Security update for puppet
SUSE Security Update: Security update for puppet
The deployment framework puppet received an update for a
security issue in January.
The backport of this security issue was however incomplete
and broke existing setups. As the scope of the problem is
limited to local scenarios where an attacker likely has
access already, and backporting is not trivial, this
update reverts the fix for now.
We are evaluating the possibility of an update to puppet
2.7 in the future.
