New Macromedia CF security bulletin

by kai on 12/10/2004

Macromedia published a new CF-related security bulletin tonight, which is available on http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/security/security_zone/mpsb04-10.html

The core issue is about the possibility of using CFOBJECT and CreateObject() in a so called "untrusted" or shared environment to gain access to internal system functionality.

The Stuttgart event itself was a nice one, Macromedia announced Kevin Lynch and Tim Buntel during the beginning of their event marketing phase, but ended up with both not being there which was too sad. I hope and expect they'll make it…

Laszlo systems announced that their rich internet server LPS is going to be open source from now on. As they announced it on October, 4th, it's interesting to notice how things might be connected with the non-commercial license of Flex.
