---------------------------------------- Bug #8969: Puppet hangs trying to replace a FIFO https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8969#change-80397 Author: Daniel Pittman Status: Accepted Priority: High Assignee: Category: file Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.0 Keywords: Branch: Puppet does some stupid things trying to replace a FIFO, including opening it and trying to MD5 the content. This allows a DoS for any managed file that can be replaced with a disconnected FIFO, at least. To reproduce: <pre> mkfifo /tmp/boom puppet apply <<EOT file { "/tmp/boom": ensure => file, content => "Hello, World" } EOT </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
