CVE-2012-1906 negligible priority: Ubuntu including 1 source packages (puppet), 6 status rows across 6 suites (hardy, lucid, maverick, natty, oneiric, upstream): released 3, ignored 2, needs-triage 1.
Puppet 2.6.x before 2.6.15 and 2.7.x before 2.7.13, and Puppet Enterprise (PE) Users 1.0, 1.1, 1.2.x, 2.0.x, and 2.5.x before 2.5.1 uses predictable file names when installing Mac OS X packages from a remote source, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files or install arbitrary packages via a symlink attack on a temporary file in /tmp.
