3. Problem description:
This hotfix corrects issues with an inadequately protected
method in one of the base classes in the DocumentTemplate package
that could allow the contents of DTMLDocuments or DTMLMethods to be
changed remotely or through DTML code without forcing proper user
authorization.
4. Solution:
Users of Red Hat Powertools 6.1 who have not upgraded Zope to
the version of Zope released in Red Hat Powertools 6.2 (2.1.2-5)
need to do so prior to installing this Zope update. The Zope
packages from 6.2 are located at:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/powertools/6.2/
After you have upgraded to Zope-2.1.2-5 install the Zope-Hotfix
package. To install the update, use this command:
rpm -Uvh Zope-Hotfix-06_16_2000-1.noarch.rpm
Once the Zope-Hotfix package is installed, restart Zope.
