{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2017-2299","details":"Versions of the puppetlabs-apache module prior to 1.11.1 and 2.1.0 make it very easy to accidentally misconfigure TLS trust. If you specify the `ssl_ca` parameter but do not specify the `ssl_certs_dir` parameter, a default will be provided for the `ssl_certs_dir` that will trust certificates from any of the system-trusted certificate authorities. This did not affect FreeBSD.","modified":"2025-10-24T04:46:05Z","published":"2017-09-15T18:29:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2017-2299"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2017-2299"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://puppet.com/security/cve/CVE-2017-2299"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2017-2299"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"puppet-module-puppetlabs-apache","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/puppet-module-puppetlabs-apache@1.6.0-1?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.1.1-1","1.6.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.6.0-1","binary_name":"puppet-module-puppetlabs-apache"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2017/UBUNTU-CVE-2017-2299.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
