Puppet Platform 6.23.0 is now available

[Puppet Product Updates]

The next release in the Puppet 6 series, Puppet 6.23.0, is now available!

Highlights from the 6.23.0 release include: 

• Fixed an issue where someone with the ability to query PuppetDB could arbitrarily write, update, or delete data in Postgres. CVE-2021-27021

• The Puppet agent now supports long filenames on Windows! This means that the DSC modules will all work properly and you can manage files with paths longer than 260 characters. You will need to enable long path support on each Windows agent via a registry key (hint: use the puppetlabs-registry module for that!)

• Ruby performance patches have landed, meaning that loading Puppet and Facter will now spend 50-90% less time on filesystem IO operations.

• The Puppetserver CA now enables you to manage its certificate revocation list via a new API endpoint. This makes it easier to manage when you have a volatile infrastructure and you need to update the CRL often.

• Puppet now supports macOS 11 (Big Sur).
