CF2021 crashes Apache server on cfhttp calls

Hi community,we are moving from our old CF2016 environment (Apache 2.4 on SLES 12), which has been working without major problems for many years, to CF2021 with Apache 2.4 on SLES 15. Yes, I'm fully aware that SLES is NOT on the list of supported OSes for CF2021, but for the time being, I have no choice due to inhouse policy.With CF2021 (Update level 3) we now experience major problems with frequent crashes of Apache subprocesses, which seem to be related to cfhttp calls. These calls do not fail every time, but frequently and I cannot find a pattern to this. Only house-internal URLs, mostly https://, are called with cfhttp, I'm fairly certain that this is NOT a certificate problem since the inhouse Root- and Sub-CA-Certificates were imported into the cacerts store.In /var/log/warn there are countless entries like this:2022-02-24T14:55:59.909952+01:00 srvanawebx3 systemd-coredump[34008]: Process 33666 (httpd-prefork) of user 1004 dumped core.#012#012Stack trace of thread 33668:#012#0 0

log4j-1.2.17.jar missing from jetty folder

I read the security bullitins around this jar file coming up in security scans. I noticed that in one of my instances (test) for whatever reason that log4j.jar file is completly missing in the /jetty/lib/ext folder but yet the CF server is running fine. In our dev/prod instances though the log4j-1.2.17.jar is in the /jetty/lib/ext folder and can't be deleted or renamed becasue its in use even when the CF server is stopped.. I guess the question here is 1. Why would it be missing on one server but not the other (Identical deployment; Same versions; etc.). 2. Can these log4j versions be ignored as vulnerable. I know in previous discussions only certain CVES are mentioned but our scanners pick up reference to the jetty instance being vulnerable to.CVE 2020-9488CVE 2022-23302CVE 2022-23305CVE 2022-23307

Looping with threads - java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: coldfusion.runtime.CFDummyComponent.<init>()

I'm working with an application running on ColdFusion 2018 and Java 11. It uses threads to make multiple http requests at once to reduce the wait time of loading data. About once a month, sometimes more, we start to get error reports of java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: coldfusion.runtime.CFDummyComponent.<init>() on the line of code that creates a thread. I haven't found any pattern to it and the error seems to just keep happening for every request that goes through the affected code path after it's first triggered until the server is restarted. This is occurring in production but I haven't been able to reproduce it locally so I have a feeling it's related to the number of users of the system. Can anyone offer a suggestion on what could be the cause? Please see the related code and error dump snippets below. threadService.cfc/* * Runs all supplied threads and returns the results in a structure where each key * is the name of a thread and contains the results of running

Recently upgraded from CF2016 to CF2021 and unable to login to my site

Hello,  I recently upgraded from CF2016 to CF2021.  Now i'm not heavily into ColdFusion, our previous developer has retired so I got put into this.  Mostly I have been upgrading/changing links and troubleshooting some syntax in coding or troubleshooting minor issues.  I basically have been tasked to keep this legacy system working.  (Our company is in the end stages and will most likely not be around in a few more years). So after the upgrade, i'm able to open up my dev site for our HR portal.  The login page comes up, but i'm unable to login.  I"m getting "User Doesn't Exist or Password Expired" error.  We have a EZ-SSO client that handles our login and I can't tell if that is what is causing the issue.  If the upgrade made changes that affects the code accessing the Active Directory.  I am using a <CFLDAP> command to query the active directory.

Coldfusion 2021 - Install

Hi, As part of moving towards Coldfusion 2021 (from CF2016) and I downloaded the installer file ColdFusion_2021_GUI_WWEJ_linux64.bin and completed the install successfully the 30day trial option. I was looking for the Standard Edition and not the Enterprise Edition as we are downgrading. Question:Upon launching the admin console, it says ColdFusion 2021 Release Enterprise Trial 30 day(s) left - How do I  downgrade to Standard Edition, is it through a specific license or do i need to blow this install totally and get the installer for standard edition? Since I could not locate the specific installer file for standard edition, I got whatever is there from Adobe site for our Linux OS. Please let me  know. ThanksSajan

CF generated Javascript blocked by X-Content-Type-Options

We have been providing a simple javascript link for for other websites to embed to display content from our site without using iframes. Basically the HTML generated in the cfm file is saved in a <cfsavecontent> variable, and rendered into javascript using document.write('jsStringFormat(content)); Other sites then embed it using:<script type="text/javascript" src="somesite/temp.cfm"></script> This has worked well for many years, but due to increased security we added X-Content-Type-Options="nosniff" to our headers. This results in a MIME type (“text/html”) mismatch error, so the javascript is blocked. As far as I can tell this is because a .cfm page is delivering js content (?) Any suggestions how we can work around this?

CF 2021- Excel .xlsx NO LONGER Autocalculates

VERY IMPORTANT:  This code ran flawlessly on CF v10 (same master excel file "xlsx")MUST Find solution. My Master excel is "xlsx".   Going back to "xls" is NOT option as we're using advanced features not backward compatible. To simulate workflow I used Excel to create a blank "xls" and "xlsx" both with "sheet1" renamed to "interview".The following code sets the cells correctly... BUT "xls" will autocalc when opened, "xlsx" WILL NOT.  User must hit [cntrl-alt-F9] which then updates.Please try yourself, you will see same results.  (simply switch lines 1/2 to use different "master" in your simulation.<cfset excelFileToUse = "d:\oldExcel.xls"><cfset excelFileToUse = "d:\testMaster.xlsx"> <cfset dummyNumber = randrange(12345,99999)><cfset fileExt = listLast(excelFileToUse,".")><cfset CompanyLink = "HYPERLINK(""http://localhost/customers/customer.cfm?customerID=156"",""My Company"")"><cfset contactLink = "HYPERLINK(
