Description: Two vulnerabilities have been reported in ColdFusion, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to bypass certain security restrictions and by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service). 1) It is possible to cause an infinite loop in ColdFusion by sending a specially crafted command to the ColdFusion Flash Remoting Gateway. 2) An error exists due to CFML templates outside a sandbox being able to call ColdFusion components within a sandbox in certain situations. The vulnerabilities have been reported in versions 7 and 7.0.1. Solution: Update to version 7.0.2 or apply hotfixes for version 7.0.1: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/hf701-apsb06-12.zip http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/94491491/hf701-61892.zip Provided and/or discovered by: The vendor credits: 1) Shigeyoshi Muraoka, IT Frontier Corporation 2) Stephen Moretti, Nil Desperandum Original Advisory: Adobe Systems: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb06-12.html http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb06-13.html
