Re: Millions of Coldfusion sites need to apply patches

ColdFusion 7 is no longer supported by Adobe. Therefore only customers
who have extended support, which you pay for, are entitled to a fix
for CF7.

But has already been pointed out, just restrict your /CFIDE.

You can put the /CFIDE/scripts/ folder anywhere you want, just put it

 If that is your intention, then don't release the 'sploit.

There are two problems with that:

1. Without an exploit for testing, how can you tell if you're secure?
Tools like Nessus, etc, rely on this for their functionality.

2. The exploit can presumably be derived by comparing the public patch
against the pre-patched files. We're just talking about CFML here, so
anyone can decrypt that.

Re: Millions of Coldfusion sites need to apply patches

2010-08-11 Thread Procheckup news

Whether to release the exploit or not is subject to a number of different 
practical and moral considerations.

Firstly security testers and testing tools need to have functional and working 
exploits to validate if their customer’s sites are secure; if exploits are 
not released they cannot do their job. Every time a security tester runs a scan 
the exploit is publically published, so selective disclosure does not work.

Secondly the exploit contained within Adobe’s patches will be rapidly reverse 
engineered by governmental Infosec warfare teams, along with various 
commercially profitable underground organisations.  Our intent by using 
publicity is too minimise the impact of this.

ProCheckUp have had a number of discussions regarding waiting a longer time say 
one month to release the exploit, though this was determined to be unfeasible 
due to ease of determining the exploit and using it. It was felt that it is 
better to give ColdFusion administrator’s a tight deadline to secure their 
servers, rather than a relaxed one and having servers subjected to attack by 
the above. 

Personally I know that many prefer that exploits are not published and I 
understand this perspective; though my perspective is different coming from 
practical experience of performing forensics on customer sites after they have 
been ‘hacked’ using unpublished or zero day exploits.

Hardening servers is a blast!  Everyone should do it.

Six is a number perfect in itself, and not because God created the
world in six days; rather the contrary is true. God created the world
in six days because this number is perfect, and it would remain
perfect, even if the work of the six days did not exist.
St. Augustine

Re: Millions of Coldfusion sites need to apply patches

2010-08-11 Thread Dave Watts

 By golly it worked!  Is the CFIDE/scripts directory the only one needed
 to be remapped?

If you're using old-style CFFORM stuff with Java applets, you will
need /CFIDE/classes as well.
