Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in ColdFusion, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct Cross-Site Scripting attacks against visitors.

The vulnerability is caused due to missing input validation by the default error handlers. This can be exploited by including arbitrary script code in the HTTP "Referer" header field.

Successful exploitation requires that a web site uses the default ColdFusionMX Site-Wide Error Handler page or the default ColdFusionMX Missing Template Handler page.

The vulnerability affects the following versions:
* ColdFusion MX 6.0 and 6.1 (All editions)
* ColdFusion MX 6.0 J2EE (All editions)
* ColdFusion MX 6.1 J2EE (All editions)
* ColdFusion 5.0 and prior versions
