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

On versions of Zope prior to 2.2beta1 it was possible for a user
with the ability to edit DTML can gain unauthorized access to extra
roles during a request.

Debian 2.1 (slink) did not include zope, and is not vulnerable.
The widely-used Debian 2.2 (potato) pre-release does include zope
and is vulnerable to this issue. A fixed package for Debian 2.2
(potato) is available in zope 2.1.6-5.1.

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 alias slink


This version of Debian did not include zope and is not
vulnerable.

Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato
