VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/24850/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
Adobe ColdFusion MX 7.x
http://secunia.com/product/4984/

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Adobe ColdFusion MX, which can
be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.

The security issue is caused due to the application having certain
files and directories with insecure permissions i.e. world writable.
This can be exploited to gain escalated privileges at the next server
restart by replacing or editing the affected files.

The security issue reportedly affects versions 7.x.

SOLUTION:
The vendor recommends applying updates for the cfroot/verity
directory and setting the permissions on various directories. Please
see the vendor's advisory for details.
