The use of Python's marshal module to handle unchecked input in a public method on PortalFolder
objects can lead to an unauthenticated denial of service and crash situation. The code in question is exposed by all portal software built on top of Products.CMFCore
, such as Plone. All deployments are vulnerable.
The code has been fixed in Products.CMFCore
version 3.2.
Users can make the affected decodeFolderFilter
method unreachable by editing the PortalFolder.py
module in Products.CMFCore
by hand and then restarting Zope. Go to line 233 of PortalFolder.py
and remove both the @security.public
decorator for decodeFolderFilter
as well as the method's entire docstring. This is safe because the method is not actually used by current code.
