Zope before 2.2.4 does not properly compute local roles, which could allow users to bypass specified access restrictions and gain privileges.

The default installation of Debian GNU/Linux uses an insecure Master Boot Record (MBR) which allows a local user to boot from a floppy disk during the installation.
