MPSB04-04 Security Patch available for ColdFusion MX and
JRun 4.0 Web Services DoS.

SUMMARY:

ColdFusion MX and JRun 4.0 web services may be vulnerable
to a Denial-of-Service attack from maliciously constructed
SOAP requests.

ColdFusion Version 5 and earlier versions and JRun 3.1 and
earlier versions do not support web services and are not
vulnerable.

If using web services with ColdFusion MX or JRun 4.0, this
fix should be applied if either:
        
- the web services are available publicly
- the web services may be accessed by a potential attacker

NOTE: This fix is NOT required if ColdFusion MX or JRun 4.0
is used only to consume web services provided by others.
Also, the default ColdFusion MX and JRun 4.0 installations
are not vulnerable because they do not contain any deployed
web services.

WHAT CUSTOMERS SHOULD DO:

Customers with configurations affected by this bulletin
should follow the recommendations found in the bulletin.
