Debian Security Advisory DSA-006-1                   security@debian.org

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.



wget url

        will fetch the file for you

dpkg -i file.deb

        will install the referenced file.





Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato

- ---------------------------------



  Potato was released for alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and sparc.

  At this moment packages for m68k are not available yet. When they

  become available they will be announced on http://security.debian.org/
