Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for puppet.

CVE-2021-27025[0]:
| A flaw was discovered in Puppet Agent where the agent may silently
| ignore Augeas settings or may be vulnerable to a Denial of Service
| condition prior to the first 'pluginsync'.

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/da8b73edca174309a9bef5f62cd276933fe733e8 (6.25.1)

This is too intrusive to backport (and has limited impact)
to released suites, but still filing a bug to track it.

This can be closed when puppet-agent 7 gets uploaded to unstable.	

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
