  <description>Puppet's certificate authority issued Puppet agent
certificates capable of impersonating the Puppet master.
Compromised or rogue puppet agents could therefore use
their certificates for MITM attacks (CVE-2011-3872). 

Note: If you've set the 'certdnsnames' option in your
master's puppet.conf file merely installing the updated
packages is not sufficient to fix this problem. You need to
either pick a new DNS name for the master and reconfigure
all agents to use it or re-new certificates on all agents.

Please refer to the documentation in
/usr/share/doc/packages/puppet/puppetlabs-cve20113872-0.0.5
for detailed instructions and scripts.
