Current directory is not in the user's path 2. Current directory is not in the configured path This causes puppet manifests to fail based on files in the local directory. <pre> $ vim insecure.pp exec { test: path => '/bin:/usr/bin', command => 'echo secure', onlyif => 'test -d /tmp', logoutput => true, } $ touch test $ chmod 444 test $ puppet apply insecure.pp err: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]: Could not evaluate: 'test' is not executable notice: Finished catalog run in 0.08 seconds </pre> Oddly enough, it doesn't seem to execute it -- just checks the permissions. <pre> $ chmod 755 test $ puppet apply insecure.pp notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]/returns: secure notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]/returns: executed successfully notice: Finished catalog run in 0.17 seconds </pre> This is at least a random failure case based on files in the puppet agent's current directory, but I'm sure this is an exploitable security bug somehow. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
