CVE-2010-0156

First published: Wed May 27 2009(Updated: )

Description of problem: I noticed that puppet may create several predictable files in /tmp, e.g. /tmp/daemonout /tmp/puppetdoc.txt /tmp/puppetdoc.tex There are also a lot more in the tests, but they may not be run in Fedora's F10 spec, and even more in the puppet source, e.g. for the dmg installation provider. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): puppet-0.24.8-1.fc10 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. grep -nR /tmp/ /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet Actual results: Contains ruby code like: /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/daemon.rb:33: File.open("/tmp/daemonout", "w") { |f| Expected results: Should only report findings that are not executed, e.g. in comments or help information Additional info: Current git seems to contain even more issues, e.g. lib/puppet/network/server.rb:25: File.open("/tmp/daemonout", "w") { |f|
