Public bug reported: Lucid's version of puppet is listed as "ignored (reached end-of-life)" on the CVE tracking page for CVE-2013-3567 [1]. However, Ubuntu Lucid has not reached end-of-life for the server release -- indeed, `apt-cache show puppet` shows "Supported: 5y". The Ubuntu wiki[2] states that Ubuntu Server LTS supports "security updates and select bug fixes (5 years) -- This is defined as the union of the server-ship and supported- server seeds." Checking the seed file[3], I find that puppet is indeed listed in the server-ship seed.
On IRC, I was pointed to ~ubuntu-security/ubuntu-cve-tracker/lucid- supported.txt as the master list of supported packages. How is this list generated, if not as documented under Ubuntu's support policies? I also note that the header line in that file is misleading or incorrect, and should probably read "...are unsupported starting May 9, 2013" if that is the intent. Regardless, either the Lucid release of puppet should gain a security release for CVE-2013-3567, or Ubuntu should update their documentation in numerous places as to what packages are considered "supported" as part of Lucid server LTS.
