SerializeJSON on a Java object causes service restart

Failure Type: Crash

Found In Build/Fixed In Build: Final / CF11 Update5,CF10 Update16

Vote Count: 0

Listed in the version 11.0.05.293506 Issues Fixed doc 
Problem Description:
When performing SerializeJSON on a Java object or interface, the entire ColdFusion service immediately crashes and restarts.
Admittedly, I can't see a reason you'd want to do this; but I was serialising my session scope for logging and it just happens to have a Java interface instantiated in it.

Regardless of the usefulness of serialising a Java object, the result should never be a complete crash and restart of ColdFusion!

Steps to Reproduce:
<cfscript>
	SquangDiddleh = createObject("java", "java.io.File");
	writeDump(SerializeJSON(SquangDiddleh));
</cfscript>

Actual Result:
ColdFusion service restarts.

Expected Result:
A dump, containing presumably the names of all the methods of the object and any variables it may have exposed.

Any Workarounds:
None.

Unable to reproduce the restart issue on standalone CF10 Update 15 (build 10,0,15,292620) w/ Windows 10 and standalone CF11 Update 4 (build 11,0,04,293328) w/ Windows 2012 R2. Both throw "JSON serialization failure: Java object tree too complex to serialize.". So the restart issue may be specific to the built-in server. Thanks!, -Aaron
