Posted to LWN.net: “A potential security issue exists in versions of Zope up to and
including 2.2.4. This issue involves incorrect protection of a data

though they did not have editing privileges on the objects themselves.
This update replaces the previous Zope update noted in MDKSA-2000:083.”

code anytime they want; it’s open.”
