Bug #1806: supplementary groups are not reset
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/1806

Author: till
Status: Code Insufficient
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: luke
Category: plumbing
Target version: 0.26.0
Complexity: Unknown
Affected version: 0.24.6
Keywords: 


I noticed that puppetmasterd does not reset it's supplementary groups when 
switching to a different user. Therefore, if puppetmasterd is started 
manually by root, e.g. with "service puppetmaster start" on Fedora or CentOS, 
then it keeps the supplementary groups. This may allow puppet to access 
files, that it should not, i.e. files that are only readable by members of 
the group "root". Also it may lead to a situation where puppet cannot access 
a file, because it can be only accessed for users in a certain group, that is 
not the primary group of puppet.

Attached are two patches, the first fixes puppetmasterd itself. I copied it 
into an older release of puppet, where it worked. The second patch is 
completely untested.
