It was discovered that Puppet did not drop supplementary groups when being run as a different user. A local user may be able to use this flaw to bypass security restrictions and gain access to restricted files. (CVE-2009-3564)
It was discovered that Puppet did not correctly handle temporary files. A local user can exploit this flaw to bypass security restrictions and overwrite arbitrary files. (CVE-2010-0156).
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
