Background ========== Zope is an application server that can be used to build content management systems, intranets, portals or other custom applications. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-zope/zope < 2.7.8 >= 2.7.8 net-zope/zope == 2.8.0 net-zope/zope == 2.8.1 Description =========== Zope honors file inclusion directives in RestructuredText objects by default. Impact ====== An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending malicious input that would be interpreted in a RestructuredText Zope object, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary Zope code with the rights of the Zope server. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Zope users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose net-zope/zope References ========== [ 1 ] Zope Hotfix 2005-10-09 Alert http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/Hotfix_2005-10-09/security_alert Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200510-20.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
