Issue #4928 has been updated by Matt Robinson.

Status changed from Investigating to Code Insufficient

Based on mailing list discussion, this patch would need some more logic to 
handle getting dmgs from sources that aren't the puppet master or don't use 
ssl, with a fallback to using default x.509 certs.  Sandor mentioned possibly 
getting back to this after exams.

Feature #4928: SSL cert check for pkgdmg package provider 
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4928

Author: Sandor Szücs
Status: Code Insufficient
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: OSX
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: pkgdmg package provider ssl communitypatch
Branch: 


The curl option -k is used in order to download a source file using the pkgdmg 
package provider. This can be attacked by men-in-the-middle.

In order to defend from mitm you have to validate certs with curl. Puppet has 
:certdir and :localcert configuration that you can use with curl. The patch 
provided fix this issue. I have tested it with a patched 0.25.4 puppet 
installation on Mac OSX 10.6.4. 0.25.x, 2.6.x and development HEAD are effected 
to this, possibly versions <0.25 are effected, too.
