Package : puppet
Vulnerability : several

Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2012-1053 CVE-2012-1054
Two vulnerabilities were discovered in Puppet, a centralized
configuration management tool.
CVE-2012-1053
Puppet runs execs with an unintended group privileges,
potentially leading to privilege escalation.
CVE-2012-1054
The k5login type writes to untrusted locations,
enabling local users to escalate their privileges
if the k5login type is used.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed

For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution
