Debian Security Advisory

DSA-007-1 zope -- insufficient protection

Date Reported:

20 Dec 2000

Affected Packages:

zope

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

No other external database security references currently available.

More information:

A busy week for the Zope team: on Monday another security alert was released revealing a potential problem found by Peter Kelly. This problem involved incorrect protection of data updating for Image and File objects: any user with DTML editing privileges could update the File or Image object data directly.

This has been fixed in version 2.1.6-5.4 by including the 2000-12-19 hotfix, and we recommend that you upgrade your zope package immediately.

Fixed in:

Debian 2.2 (potato)
