Description:	Summary: A denial of service vulnerability exists within the Allaire ColdFusion web application server (version 4.5.1 and earlier) which allows an attacker to overwhelm the web server and deny legitimate web page requests. Vulnerability Impact: By downloading and altering the login HTML form an attacker can send overly large passwords (> 40.0000 chars) to the server, causing it to stop responding. Solution: Use HTTP basic authentication to restrict access to this page or remove it entirely if remote administration is not a requirement. A patch should be available from the vendor.
