FreeBSD : puppet -- Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (b162b218-c547-4ba2-ae31-6fdcb61bc763)

high Nessus Plugin ID 66966

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

Puppet Developers report :

When making REST api calls, the puppet master takes YAML from an untrusted client, deserializes it, and then calls methods on the resulting object. A YAML payload can be crafted to cause the deserialization to construct an instance of any class available in the ruby process, which allows an attacker to execute code contained in the payload.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
