Incorrect authorization in the certificate-name matching of trapperkeeper-authorization, as used by Puppet Server, in the affected products, allows a client that holds a CA-signed certificate whose name extends or shortens an authorized hostname to be authorized as that host.

Exploitation requires a certificate with a colliding name, which the certificate authority issues by approval or autosign.
