This seems to imply that 2.1.6 is vulnerable as well, but that this Hotfix

not tested with 2.1.6 ?

Sorry - 2.1.6 _is_ vulnerable, and the Hotfix will work for
2.1.6. I'll update that README.

[Zope] ANNOUNCE: Zope security alert and hotfix release

2000-12-18 Thread Brian Lloyd

Hi all -

  Tis the season for hot - fix - es, fa la la la la,
   waa waa waa waa...

  Peter Kelly has brought another potential security issue to
  our attention that is important enough to make a Hotfix
  available for those who allow untrusted users to edit DTML
  on their sites.

  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 priveleges
  to update the raw data of a File or Image object via DTML though
  they did not have editing priveleges on the objects themselves.

  We recommend that any Zope site running versions of Zope up to and
  including 2.2.4 have this hotfix product installed to mitigate the
  issue if the site is accessible by untrusted users who have DTML
  editing privileges.

  http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/Hotfix_2000-12-18/README.txt

  http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/Hotfix_2000-12-18/Hotfix_2000-12-18.tgz

  The hotfix will work for all versions of Zope 2.1.x and higher. A
  Zope 2.2.5 release later this week will contain the fix for this
  issue (as well as all hot fixes to date) and you will be able to
  uninstall the hot fix after upgrading.

 AFAICT 2.1.6 is not vulnerable.

Verifying this on our server, this turns out to be quite correct; Zope
2.1.6 does not demonstrate the problem repaired by the hotfix.

[Zope] SECURITY alert and hotfix release

2000-12-08 Thread Brian Lloyd

Hi all,

  Aleksander Salwa has brought a security issue to our attention
  that affects all Zope versions up to and including Zope 2.2.4.
  We have released a Hotfix product to address the issue that can
  be downloaded from zope.org. (Thanks to Aleksander for finding
  this and to Shane Hathaway for his quick response in resolving
  it!)

  The issue involves security registration of "legacy" names for
  certain object constructors such as the constructors for DTML
  Method objects. Security was not being applied correctly for the
  legacy names, making it possible to call those constructors without
  the permissions that should have been required. This issue could allow
  anonymous users with enough internal knowledge of Zope to instantiate
  new DTML Method instances through the Web.

  The hotfix for this issue is available on the zope.org web site:

o
http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/Hotfix_2000-12-08/Hotfix_2000-12-08.tgz

  We *highly* recommend that any Zope site running versions of
  Zope up to and including 2.2.4  have this hotfix product installed
  to mitigate the issue.

  The hotfix will work for all versions of Zope 2.2.0 and higher. A
  future version of Zope will contain the fix for this
  issue, and you will be able to uninstall the hot fix after upgrading.
