Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
Package name: Zope Date: December 19th, 2000 Advisory ID: MDKSA-2000:086 Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2 Problem Description: A potential security issue exists in versions of Zope up to and including 2.2.4. This issue involves incorrect protection of a data updating method on Image and File objects. Because the method was not correctly protected, it was possible for users with DTML editing privileges to update the raw data of a File or Image object via DTML though they did not have editing privileges on the objects themselves. This update replaces the previous Zope update noted in MDKSA-2000:083. Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the
integrity of the downloaded package. You can do this with the
command: Linux-Mandrake 7.1: Linux-Mandrake 7.2: To upgrade automatically, use <<MandrakeUpdate>>. If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one of our FTP server mirrors and uprade with "rpm -Uvh package_name". You can download the updates directly from: Or try one of the other mirrors listed at: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3. Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory. For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for Linux-Mandrake 7.1, look for it in "updates/7.1/RPMS/". Updated source RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download them. Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to update, so if you want an immediate upgrade, please use one of the two above-listed mirrors.
