+	  <p>The MCollective aes_security public key plugin does not correctly
+	    validate certs against the CA. By exploiting this vulnerability
+	    within a race/initialization window, an attacker with local access
+	    could initiate an unauthorized MCollective client connection with a
+	    server, and thus control the mcollective plugins running on that
+	    server. This vulnerability requires a collective be configured to
+	    use the aes_security plugin. Puppet Enterprise and open source
+	    MCollective are not configured to use the plugin and are not
+	    vulnerable by default.</p>
