1. Topic:

A new Zope Hotfix package is available.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

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]

where filename is the name of the RPM.

Please make sure that you have updated you Zope packages to version 2.2.4
prior to applying this Hotfix. After you have installed this Hotfix,
restart Zope.
