Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory: Zope update

Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2000 18:55:25 -0700
From: Linux Mandrake Security Team

Subject: MDKSA-2000:083 – Zope update


                Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
                                

Package name:           Zope
Date:                   December 16th, 2000
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2000:083

Affected versions:      7.1, 7.2

Problem Description:

There is an issue involving security registration of “legacy”
names for certain object constructors such as the constructors for
DTML Method Objects. Security was not being applied correctly for
the legacy names, making it possible to call those constructors
without the permissions that should have been required. This
vulnerability could allow anonymous users with enough knowledge of
Zope to instantiate new DTML Method instances through the web.


Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the
integrity of the downloaded package. You can do this with the
command:
rpm –checksig package.rpm
You can get the GPG public key of the Linux-Mandrake Security Team
at http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS

If you use MandrakeUpdate, the verification of md5 checksum and GPG
signature is performed automatically for you.

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:

ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake/updates

ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/updates

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.
