Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for puppet.

CVE-2009-3564[0]:
| puppetmasterd in puppet 0.24.6 does not reset supplementary groups
| when it switches to a different user, which might allow local users to
| access restricted files.

Unfortunately the vulnerability described above is not important enough
to get it fixed via regular security update in Debian stable and oldstable. It
does not warrant a DSA.

However it would be nice if this could get fixed via a regular point update[1].
Please contact the release team for this.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE id in your changelog entry.
