Description Pierre-Yves Rofes (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-22 13:55:18 UTC
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Zope, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery
attacks

The vulnerabilities are caused due to Zope allowing administrators to
perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any
validity checks to verify the request. This can be exploited to e.g.
to add users or change user privileges by enticing a logged-in
administrator to visit a malicious site.

The vulnerability is reported in all Zope versions up to and
including 2.10.2.

SOLUTION:
Apply hotfix:
http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/Hotfix-2007-03-20/announcement/view

net-zope, please advise.

Released new zope versions which include fix:
2.8.9 (downgraded to ~ on all arches)
2.9.7 (previous version was ~)
2.10.3 (previous version was ~)
Comment 2 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-25 19:38:31 UTC
Thx Radoslaw.

Arches please test and mark stable. Target keywords are:

I'm no Zope expert but this looks like an ebuild error to me so back to ebuild status. Radoslaw please provide an updated ebuild.
Comment 5 Radoslaw Stachowiak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-26 09:38:36 UTC
Christian, could You provide more information about when this error happened?
was this test phase in the emerge? If yes, we'll probably have to jsut disable it (patching zope to make test not use root user is (probably) to much work for us atm).
Comment 6 Radoslaw Stachowiak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-26 20:02:25 UTC
OK, there is problem with targz released by zope corp as mentioned by Andreas Jung: "I uploaded corrected versions of the Zope 2.9.7 and 2.10.3 tar-balls.
The tar-balls released yesterday contained a bug that caused
a startup failure when using "zopectl start"."

Give me a day to fix it.

 Yes, it was test phase...so I am a bit surprised, arches were uncced. :)  Just a comment if test phase is known to fail or not.
Comment 8 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-27 06:57:30 UTC
@Christian, please provide a bit more information when you paste in results then:) Security is not over staffed atm.

@Radoslaw just readd arches when the ebuilds are ready for further testing.

Comment 10 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-27 09:26:02 UTC
Christian, I only had time for a quick look of your output and wasn't sure wether it was the test phase or not.

Waiting for maintainer to update with fixed tarballs as per comment #6.
Comment 11 Radoslaw Stachowiak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-06 21:27:00 UTC
Commited fixed versions:
2.10.3
2.9.7
2.8.9 and 2.8.9.1

Arches, please test (thoroughly, due to newly introduced versioning scheme) and stabilize: 2.8.9.1
