Credential Handling Weakness in Presentation Server Client for Windows
Document ID: CTX116227 Created On: Mar 10, 2008 / Updated On: Mar 10, 2008
Severity: Low
Description of Problem
Under some circumstances, the Citrix Presentation Server Client for Windows
may leave residual credential information in the client process memory.
This issue is present in all versions of the Citrix Presentation Server
Client for Windows prior to version 10.200.
Mitigating Factors
In order to exploit this weakness, an attacker would need to read the client
process memory; under normal circumstances this would not be possible unless
the client host had already been compromised.
What Customers Should Do
In most deployments, this weakness does not present a significant security
risk. However, customers that are concerned about this may wish to consider
upgrading to the latest version of the Presentation Server Client for
Windows.
