OVERVIEW:

	The Citrix Presentation Server Client on the Windows platform contains
	a remotely exploitable vulnerability that may be triggered when the
	user visits a malicious web page in their web browser.

	Citrix states that most deployments are likely to be vulnerable to
	this issue. [1]


IMPACT:

	A remote attacker may compromise the client computer when the user 
	visits a malicious web page, executing arbitrary code with the 
	privileges of the user.

	After compromising the client computer an attacker may then also
	compromise the security of future Citrix sessions.


MITIGATION:

	Version 10.0 of the Citrix Presentation Server Clients have been 
	released fixing this vulnerability. These are available for download at 

	http://www.citrix.com/English/SS/downloads/downloads.asp?dID=2755
