An issue when this security fix was applied with Cumulative Hot Fix 4 for ColdFusion 8.0.1 has been identified and resolved. A naming conflict caused this issue.

Vulnerability CVE-2010-1294, included in this security fix, now prevents unauthorized access to datasources via the Service Factory. This vulnerability possibly caused issues with certain frameworks/applications that were accessing datasources without proper authentication.
