Synopsis |
| 16 |
======== |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Zope is vulnerable to a file inclusion vulnerability when exposing |
| 19 |
RestructuredText functionalities to untrusted users. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Background |
| 22 |
========== |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Zope is an application server that can be used to build content |
| 25 |
management systems, intranets, portals or other custom applications. |

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
| 32 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 33 |
1 net-zope/zope < 2.7.8 >= 2.7.8 |
| 34 |
net-zope/zope == 2.8.0 |
| 35 |
net-zope/zope == 2.8.1 |
| 36 |

Description |
| 38 |
=========== |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Zope honors file inclusion directives in RestructuredText objects by |
| 41 |
default. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Impact |
| 44 |
====== |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending malicious input |
| 47 |
that would be interpreted in a RestructuredText Zope object, |
| 48 |
potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary Zope code with the |
| 49 |
rights of the Zope server. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Workaround |
| 52 |
========== |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Resolution |
| 57 |
========== |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
All Zope users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
# emerge --sync |
| 62 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose net-zope/zope |
| 63 |
