Summary

Adobe ColdFusion 8.0, 8.0.1, 9.0, and 9.0.1 computes hash values for form parameters without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by sending many crafted parameters. Per: http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/407.html 'CWE-407: Algorithmic Complexity'

descriptionThe remote Windows host is running a version of ColdFusion that is affected by a hash collision denial of service. A flaw exists in the way ColdFusion generates hash tables for user-supplied values. By sending a small number of specially crafted requests to a web server that uses ColdFusion, an attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service condition.
