Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2017-05-20 08:19:27 UTC
From ${URL} :

It was found that Puppet will deserialize data off the wire (from the agent to the server, in this case) with a attacker-specified format. 
This could be used to force YAML deserialization in an unsafe manner, which would lead to remote code execution. This change constrains the 
format of data on the wire to PSON or safely decoded YAML.

@ruby, are you fine with those packages getting stabilized as well?

Note that these are only needed for x86 and x86 currently does not have a stable puppet version at all.

No problem from my side. I have updated the package list accordingly.
