Vulnerability in Citrix Access Gateway legacy authentication support could
result in command injection
Document ID: CTX127613 / Created On: 14-Dec-2010 / Updated On:
13-Jan-2011
Average Rating: 3 (2 ratings)
Severity: High
Description of Problem
A vulnerability has been identified in the NT4 authentication component of
Access Gateway Enterprise, and the NTLM authentication component of Access
Gateway Standard Edition that, when exploited, could allow an attacker to
subvert the authentication process. In some cases, this could result in the
attacker being able to execute commands on the appliance in the context of
the root user.
This vulnerability only affects Access Gateway customers that are using the
authentication methods specified above.
The vulnerable components are present in all versions of Access Gateway
Enterprise Edition prior to version 9.2-49.8, and all versions of the Access
Gateway Standard and Advanced Editions prior to Access Gateway 5.0.
What Customers Should Do
The use of the vulnerable authentication methods has been deprecated in the
Access Gateway product line, and support for these methods has also been
removed from the latest versions of these products.
Citrix recommends that affected customers review their use of the deprecated
components, and migrate to another authentication method.
