TITLE:
Fedora update for puppet

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36722

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36722/

DESCRIPTION:
Fedora has issued an update for puppet. This fixes a security issue,
which can be exploited by malicious, local users to potentially
disclose sensitive information.

The security issue is caused due to insecure permissions being set
for the /var/log/puppet directory and can be exploited to potentially
access restricted files.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages via the yum utility ("yum update puppet").

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by Jim Pirzyk in a Red Hat bug report.
