Title: Allaire ColdFusion Start/Stop Denial of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
A vulnerability in ColdFusion allows may allow remote attacks to stop the ColdFusion service.
The ColdFusion Administrator Start/Stop Utility is a browser-based Java applet that is designed to let administrators start and stop the ColdFision service. The utility is made available through the file "startstop.html" stored in the "/CFIDE/Administrator/" directory. When Basic Security is enabled this utility is secured by the same password used to secure the Administrator. When Advanced Security is enabled, it overrides the browser-based password security imposed on the Start/Stop Utility. If a server is running Advanced Security, an unauthorized user could access the startstop.html page to stop the server.
Affected Products:
- Allaire ColdFusion Server 4.0.0
- Allaire ColdFusion Server 4.0.1
