MSPB02-12 -- Cumulative Security Patch available for
Macromedia JRun 3.0, 3.1 and 4.0.

Originally Posted: November 6, 2002

Summary:

This is a cumulative patch that includes all previously
released patches for JRun 3.0 and 3.1. This is the second
security patch for JRun 4.0. The patch fixes several file
disclosure issues and a buffer overflow problem with the
ISAPI connector.

NOTE:  JRun 4.0 users who have recently upgraded to
JRun 4.0 SP1 or SP1a do NOT need to download this patch.

WHAT CUSTOMERS SHOULD DO:

We strongly encourage customers to download and install
this patch immediately.

MPSB02-13 - ColdFusion MX file extension mappings

Originally Posted: November 6, 2002

Summary:

If additional web servers are configured using the
instructions in the ColdFusion MX documentation, it is
possible for CFML source to be disclosed when the web
server is running and ColdFusion MX is not running.

WHAT CUSTOMERS SHOULD DO:

ColdFusion MX customers who have not altered their web
server configuration after installing ColdFusion need not
take any action. ColdFusion MX customers on Unix platforms
who have manually configured a web server using the
instructions in "Installing ColdFusion MX," Chapter 2,
"Configuring web servers" should repeat the operation using
the -map switch to be sure that their web server does not
process ColdFusion files as static files.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Reporting Security Issues:

Macromedia is committed to addressing security issues
and providing customers with the information on how they
can protect themselves. If you identify what you believe
may be a security issue with a Macromedia product, please
send an e-mail to secure@macromedia.com. We will work to
appropriately address and communicate the issue.

~~~~~~~
Receiving Security Bulletins:

When Macromedia becomes aware of a security issue that we

we will notify customers when appropriate. Typically this
notification will be in the form of a security bulletin
explaining the issue and the response. Macromedia customers
