- Addresses security vulnerabilities mentioned in the security bulletin APSB19-27.
Updates to LiveCycle Data Services
Remote access to the Adobe LiveCycle Data Management feature has been disabled.
To mitigate potential security risks, admins are recommended to first implement access controls to the RMI port via the host or network firewall.
If you want to enable LCDS after installation, follow the steps below:
- Open the file jvm.config and add the flags:
- -Dcoldfusion.rmi.enable=true
- -Dcoldfusion.rmi.enablelcds=true
- Launch ColdFusion Administrator and enable the option, Enable Remote Adobe LiveCycle Data Management access., if it is not enabled already.
- Restart ColdFusion.

Not enabled the option Enable Remote Adobe LiveCycle Data Management access before applying the update, |
After the update, if you enable the option Enable Remote Adobe LiveCycle Data Management access, the following error message appears:: Error attempting to update settings: RMI for LCDS has been disabled. Set coldfusion.rmi.enable and coldfusion.rmi.enablelcds JVM flags as true in jvm.config file and restart the server. NOTE: The error message only appears if you did not set the flags in jvm.config, as mentioned in the previous step. |

Enabled the option Enable Remote Adobe LiveCycle Data Management access before applying the update, |
LCDS may not work as expected. See the section above for more information. |
Note:
For the security fixes in Update 15 and above to take effect, ColdFusion must be on JDK 1.7.0_131 or JDK 1.8.0_121 or higher.

Prerequisites
- On 64-bit computer, use 32-bit JRE for 32-bit ColdFusion and 64-bit JRE for 64-bit ColdFusion.
- If the ColdFusion server is behind a proxy, specify the proxy settings for the server to get the update notification and download the updates. Specify proxy settings using the system properties below in the jvm.config for a stand-alone installation, or corresponding script file for JEE installation.
- http.proxyHost
- http.proxyPort
- http.proxyUser
- http.proxyPassword
- For ColdFusion running on JEE application servers, stop all application server instances before installing the update.
Installation
For instructions on how to install this update, see Server Update section. For any questions related to updates, refer this FAQ.
- The update can be installed from the Administrator of a ColdFusion server instance or through the command-line option.
- Windows users can launch the ColdFusion Administrator using Start > All Programs > Adobe > Coldfusion 11 > Administrator.
- If you get the following error when installing the update using the Download and Install option, ensure that the folder{cf_install_home}/{instance_name}/hf_updates has write permission: "An error occurred when performing a file operation write on file {cf_install_home}/{instance_name}/hf-updates/hotfix_00019.properties".
- From Update 5 onwards, the connector configuration files are backed up at {cf_install_home}/config/ wsconfig /backup. Add back any custom changes made to the worker.properties file after reconfiguring the connector.
Installing the update manually
- Click the link to download the update JAR,
- Execute the following command on the downloaded JAR. Launch the command prompt to apply the update. You must have privileges to start or stop ColdFusion service and full access to the ColdFusion root directory.
Windows: <cf_root>/jre/bin/java.exe -jar <jar-file-dir>/hotfix_019.jar
Linux-based platforms: <cf_root>/jre/bin/java -jar <jar-file-dir>/hotfix_019.jar
Ensure that the JRE bundled with CF is used for executing the downloaded JAR. For standalone CF, this must be at, <cf_root>/jre/bin.
For further details on how to manually update the application, see the help article.
Post installation
After applying this update, the ColdFusion build number should be 11,0,19,314546.
Uninstallation
To uninstall the update, do one of the following:
- In ColdFusion Administrator, click Uninstall in Server Update > Updates > Installed Updates.
- Run the uninstaller for the update from the command prompt. For example, java -jar {cf_install_home}/{instance_home}/hf_updates/hf-11-00019/uninstall /uninstaller.jar
If you can't uninstall the update using the above-mentioned uninstall options, the uninstaller could be corrupted. However, you can manually uninstall the update by doing the following:
- Delete the update jar from {cf_install_home}/{instance_name}/lib/updates.
- Copy all folders from {cf_install_home}/{instance_name}/hf-updates/{hf-11-00019}/backup directory to {cf_install_home}/{instance_name}/
Remember
- In the ColdFusion Administrator, if you see the update listed in both Available Updates and Installed Updates, it could be a caching issue. Do the following:
- Navigate to Server Update > Updates > Available Updates and click Check For Updates.
- Press Ctrl+F5 to remove the bulb notification from the top banner of the ColdFusion Administrator.
- If ColdFusion server doesn't start automatically (ps -ef | grep -i coldfusion command indicates ColdFusion is running, but the ColdFusion Administrator cannot be accessed), restart the server manually after applying the update. This issue is rare and occurs on few Unix or Linux-based operating systems (when buffer allocation size of the machine console is almost zero).
