CVE-2011-3871: Puppet uses predictable filenames, allowing arbitrary file overwrite
(updated )
Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.5, 2.6.x before 2.6.11, and 0.25.x, when running in –edit mode, uses a predictable file name, which allows local users to run arbitrary Puppet code or trick a user into editing arbitrary files.
