Security Fix
- CVE-2012-0878
- It was discovered that paster did not drop supplementary group privileges when started by the root user. Running "paster serve" as root to start a Python web application that will run as a non-root user and group resulted in that application running with root group privileges. This could possibly allow a remote attacker to gain access to files that should not be accessible to the application.
All paster users should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to resolve this issue. All running paster instances configured to drop privileges must be restarted for this update to take effect.
