Description
During operation, ColdFusion may create objects such as files to store parameters or log data, or pipes to share data between objects. When the objects are created, it is important that the newly created object has the correct permissions. This can be performed by assigning the proper umask value to the running process. For the ColdFusion service, the umask must be set to 007 or more restrictive.
