CF 8 Manually Upgrade Flash

2014-02-12 Thread William Kelleher

We have a client that ran a security scan on our product that produced an issue 
with the flash version built into CF8. Below is part of the result. 

Does anyone know if there is a way to upgrade the flash media server built into 
CF 8, we cannot upgrade to a later version of CF and need to solve this issue 
now?

Thanks in advance

The version of Adobe Flash Media Server running on the remote host is earlier 
than version 3.5.6 or
4.0.2. Such versions are potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities:

You should be able to disable the embedded Flash Media Server
functionality if you're not using it. I'm not sure how to do this
offhand, and I don't have a copy of CF handy.

I don't think you can upgrade the embedded version of Flash Media Server.

If all else fails, you could just block access to the ports used by
FMS (TCP/1935, UDP/1935, a couple of others).

I believe it is just a matter of removing the servlet mappings in web.xml.
