Issue #8104 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.

Status changed from Closed to Accepted
Assignee set to Ken Barber
Priority changed from Normal to Urgent
Keywords set to security

Reproduction:

1. cd /tmp
2. git clone git://github.com/puppetlabs/facter.git
3. RUBYLIB=/tmp/facter/lib /tmp/facter/bin

...and you should have the failure demonstrated.  The directory `facter` under 
the current directory is interpreted as a source of facts.

Looks like you could convince something run as root to do bad things with that, 
too.

Ken, can you confirm?
