Debian 2.2 Advisory: Moderate Risk Zope Remote Access Issue

Package: zope
Vulnerability type: remote unprivileged access
Debian-specific: no

On versions of Zope prior to 2.2.1 it was possible for a user with the
ability to edit DTML to gain unauthorized access to extra roles during a
request. A fix was previously announced in the Debian zope package
2.1.6-5.1, but that package did not fully address the issue and has been
superseded by this announcement. More information is available at


Debian 2.1 (slink) did not include zope, and is not vulnerable. Debian
2.2 (potato) does include zope and is vulnerable to this issue. A fixed
package for Debian 2.2 (potato) is available in zope 2.1.6-5.2.
