Hi all,
I don't recall any information being provided to the CMF developers
about CMF fixes in the most recent Plone Hotfix:
http://plone.org/products/plone-hotfix/releases/20121106
For example, there's a monkey patch to make sure getToolByName only
returns valid tool objects and nothing else, see the attached file.
I'm not sure if there's an oversight of not forwarding this
information to us or if it was determined this fix is not relevant
for the CMF. Would any list member who also works on Plone have an
insight?
Thanks!

I got this back from David Glick after asking secur...@plone.org:
"""
Thanks. We haven't had a chance to start applying the patches in the
hotfix back to where they really belong, but we'll do so soon. Note
that for the time being it should be possible to apply the Plone
hotfix to pure CMF sites as well to patch this issue.
"""
Still no wiser as to why we weren't informed.
We should have informed you earlier. There are a lot of tasks associated
with preparing a hotfix (and this one in particular covered many
vulnerabilities), and it got missed. I apologize.
In the future, what's the best place to report possible CMF security
issues? zope-cmf Launchpad?
David
