Vulnerability in Citrix XenApp could result in denial of service.
Document ID: CTX133159

Severity: Low

Description of Problem

A vulnerability has been identified in Citrix XenApp that, when triggered, 
could result in a denial of service.

This vulnerability is present in all versions of Citrix XenApp, formerly known 
as Presentation Server, up to and including version 6.5.

Mitigating Factors

In order to trigger this vulnerability, an attacker would need to be able to 
directly access the XenApp server. When deployed according to established best
practice, the XenApp server would not be directly exposed and an Internet-based 
attacker would not be able to trigger this vulnerability.

A hotfix has been released to address this issue. Citrix recommends that 
affected customers install this hotfix, which can be downloaded from the
