| Summary: | Macromedia ColdFusion is vulnerable to a denial of service attack. If ColdFusion is being used with Linux, a local attacker can use the CFRETHROW tag to cause the server to crash. Once the server crashes, ColdFusion creates a core file in the /$installdir/coldfusion/logs directory that contains all the memory that was being used before the program crashed. An attacker can use this vulnerability to gain access to sensitive information about the server. | ||||||
