high Nessus Plugin ID 69771

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux AMI host is missing a security update.

Description

Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.22 and 3.2.x before 3.2.2, and Puppet Enterprise before 2.8.2, deserializes untrusted YAML, which allows remote attackers to instantiate arbitrary Ruby classes and execute arbitrary code via a crafted REST API call.

Solution

Run 'yum update puppet' to update your system.
