Description Jan Lieskovsky 2012-11-07 15:28:37 UTC

An information disclosure flaw was found in the way FTP functionality of Plone, a user friendly and powerful content management system based on Zope, enforced read permissions on hidden folders (previously it was possible to list the folders content, but not to access the files themselves). A remote attacker could use this flaw to obtain unauthorized access to the content of certain protected folders via FTP session.

Comment 8 Vincent Danen 2014-06-26 21:16:05 UTC

This issue may affect the version of plone as shipped with EPEL5, however the latest version there is 3.1.6 (and the latest 3.x release is 3.3.5, which was released a year prior to this flaw being discovered).  Given the age of the EPEL5 package and its lack of support, we do not recommend anyone use it.

This issue does not affect plone as provided with the conga package on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Statement:

Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect the versions of luci (as provided by conga) as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
