3. Problem description:
This hotfix corrects issues with an inadequately protected method in one of the
base classes in the DocumentTemplate package that could allow the contents of
DTMLDocuments or DTMLMethods to be changed remotely or through DTML code without
forcing proper user authorization.
4. Solution:
Users of Red Hat Powertools 6.1 who have not upgraded Zope to the version of
Zope released in Red Hat Powertools 6.2 (2.1.2-5) need to do so prior to
installing this Zope update. The Zope packages from 6.2 are located at:

After you have upgraded to Zope-2.1.2-5 install the Zope-Hotfix package. To
install the update, use this command:
rpm -Uvh Zope-Hotfix-06_16_2000-1.noarch.rpm
Once the Zope-Hotfix package is installed, restart Zope.
