A new Zope Hotfix package is available.

Red Hat Powertools 6.1 and 6.2 – noarch
Red Hat Powertools 7.0 – noarch

3. Problem description:

The 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 aprivileges File or Image
object via DTML, though they did not have editing on the objects
themselves.

4. Solution:

For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filename]

Please make sure that you have updated you Zope packages to
