CF911: New Adobe document about ColdFusion security hotfixes: required reading, I'd say
Note: This blog post is from 2013. Some content may be outdated--though not necessarily. Same with links and subsequent comments from myself or others. Corrections are welcome, in the comments. And I may revise the content as necessary.Here's a new document from Adobe (new as of last week, it seems) that you may have missed, but which I would argue is REQUIRED READING for all CF admins and developers:
Important hotfix-related notes for ColdFusion 9 and ColdFusion 10
What is this about? and why is it important? Read on below, as the document itself and current links from Adobe don't quite convey its significance, I think. For more perspective, I discuss below both what has happened to many folks after applying ColdFusion security hotfixes in recent years, and how this document helps.
...is it possible to upgrade from 9,0,0,251028 direct to 9,0,2,282541, or do I need to uninstall 9,0,0,251028 , then install 9,0,2,282541 fresh? Or do all the 'hotfixes' just upgrade you to 9,0,2,282541? (e.g. will the hotfixes remove all the verity and turn my server into 9,0,2,282541)? Any help much appreciated.
Adobe info is a bit useless
Thanks

@jon, no, you CANNOT upgrade a 9.0 or 9.0.1install to 9.0.2. You would have to remove 9.0 or 9.0.1 first. Why might you want to consider it? Why did Adobe create it? Since this this isn't the place to discuss that, I just created a new blog entry for you (and others):
