ColdFusion 10, ColdFusion 9.0.2, ColdFusion 9.0.1, and ColdFusion 9.0 are affected with the vulnerabilities mentioned in the security bulletin APSB13-10. This article provides fixes for the security issues mentioned in the bulletin, along with the installation instructions.

Solution

ColdFusion 10

In ColdFusion 10, use the hot fix installer to apply this update (ColdFusion 10 Update 9). The ColdFusion 10 Update 9 is a cumulative update. That is, it includes all the bug fixes from the previous updates of ColdFusion 10.

Important note:

If you have not applied the ColdFusion 10 Mandatory Update, then apply it first to apply this update.

ColdFusion 9

If you have applied the previous Security hot fix APSB13-03, see Section 1. If you have not applied the previous Security hot fix APSB13-03, see Section 2.

Follow the instructions that apply to your version of ColdFusion. Do not apply these fixes to any beta or prerelease version of ColdFusion.

Definition for ColdFusion-Home:

In the following deployment options, {ColdFusion-Home} indicates the following:

• For Server installation: {ColdFusion-Home}
• For Multiserver installation:{JRun-Home}/servers/{YourServer}/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/
• For J2EE installation: {cfusion-ear-Home}/cfusion-war/

Note

1. Hot fix files contain some of the previous security hot fixes.
2. In ColdFusion 9.0.x, do not remove any jar files that begin with chf from {ColdFusion-Home}/lib/updates (for Server installation) or {ColdFusion-Home}/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/updates (for Multiserver and J2EE installations) directory.
3. CFIDE-902.zip, CFIDE-901.zip, CFIDE-9.zip and WEB-INF.zip included in the hot fixes contain only part of the CFIDE and WEB-INF files. Do not rename present CFIDE and WEB-INF directories.
