Thanks for the info, so we weren't really vulnerable after all, as any
public traffic to our databases is via JDBC.

Yes, I found out that it seems to be a bug an Adobe's behalf - and I'd
be very much surprised if they actually released a bug fix other than
"cough up the cash for CFMX 7". The bug is fixed in ColdFusion MX 7.0.1
Updater. Ah well, I guess I'll be stuck with the JDBC 7.4 line then for
the time being.

Kind regards
