~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MPSB05-02 - Workaround available for ColdFusion MX 6.1 Updater file disclosure. Originally posted: April 7, 2005 http://www.macromedia.com/go/mpsb05-02 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Summary: ColdFusion 6.1 Updater 1 in the ColdFusion MX for JRun4 configuration only creates a /WEB-INF/cfclasses directory under the web server root and places compiled java .class files created from .cfms and .cfcs. The .class files can be downloaded by end users. NOTE: ColdFusion 7.0 is not affected. http://www.macromedia.com/go/mpsb05-02 ~~~~~~~ Solution: Macromedia has released a workaround addressing the problem. This issue will be fixed in the next updater. ~~~~~~~ Affected Software Versions: J2EE Configuration - ColdFusion MX 6.1 for JRun4 (Updater 1) ~~~~~~~ Severity Rating: Macromedia categorizes this issue as a critical update and recommends users immediately patch their installations. ~~~~~~~ Details: The ColdFusion MX 6.1 Updater renames the /jrun4/servers/cfusion/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/WEB-INF/ cfclasses directory to cfclasses-backup but does not recreate the ..../cfusion-war/WEB-INF/cfclasses directory. After restarting the ColdFusion server, subsequent requests compile .cfms and place the .class files incorrectly under the web server root in a newly created /WEB-INF/cfclasses directory, rather than under the application root /jrun4/.../cfusion-war/WEB-INF/cfclasses. ~~~~~~~ Making the Changes: NOTE: Back up your existing files before making changes. As always, test the changes in a non-production environment before applying the changes to production servers. J2EE Configuration - ColdFusion MX 6.1 for JRun4 1. Stop all ColdFusion MX 6.1 servers. 2. Install the ColdFusion MX 6.1 Updater. If the ColdFusion MX 6.1 updater has previously been applied, delete the existing /WEB-INF/ directory under the web server root. For Microsoft IIS, the default is /inetpub/wwwroot/, for Apache, /apache/htdocs/, and for IPlanet/SunOne / {iPlanet / SunOne}/servers/docs/. 3. Create the {jrun_root}/servers/cfusion/cfusion-ear/ cfusion-war/WEB-INF/cfclasses directory. 4. Start ColdFusion MX 6.1 servers. Observe when .cfms are invoked, the .class files are placed in {jrun_root}/servers/cfusion/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/ WEB-INF/cfclasses directory. ~~~~~~~ Acknowledgements: Macromedia would like to thank Sean Waddell from ESP Group for reporting this vulnerability and for working with us to help protect our customers' security. ~~~~~~~ Revisions: April 7, 2005 - Bulletin first created. ~~~~~~~ Reporting Security Issues: Macromedia is committed to addressing security issues and providing customers with the information on how they can protect themselves.
