   An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available. It
   includes one version update.

Description:


   The deployment framework puppet received an update for a
   security issue in  January.

   The backport of this security issue was however incomplete
   and broke  existing setups. As the scope of the problem is
   limited to local scenarios  where an attacker likely has
   access already, and backporting is not  trivial, this
   update reverts the fix for now.

   We are evaluating the possibility of an update to puppet
   2.7 in the future.
