Synopsis
========
Zope is vulnerable to a file inclusion vulnerability when exposing
RestructuredText functionalities to untrusted users.
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
