Subject: [SECURITY] [DSA-006-1] zope privilege escalation
Debian Security Advisory DSA-006-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman December 19, 2000
Package : zope Problem type : privilege escalation Debian-specific: no
Last week a Zope (security advisory was released which indicated
Erik Enge found a problem in the way Zope calculates roles. In some
situations Zope checked the wrong folder hierarchy which could
cause it to grant local roles when it should not. In other words:
users with privileges in one folder could gain privileges in
another folder.
This has been fixed in version 2.1.6-5.3 by including the
2000-12-15 hotfix, and we recommend that you upgrade your zope
package immediately.
