Security Vulnerability - Citrix NetScaler Denial of Service

VIENNA, October 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    The cloud network platform "Citrix NetScaler", developed by US-based Citrix Systems
(Nasdaq: CTXS), was shipped with a critical vulnerability. The vulnerability was
discovered in the course of a short crash test which was carried out in the SEC Consult
Vulnerability Lab by the SEC Consult experts (https://www.sec-consult.com).

    The vulnerability enables an attacker to repeatedly reboot the appliance by sending
specially crafted network packets. This results in total loss of availability (Denial of
service - DoS).

    SEC Consult experts recommend users to install the update, released by the vendor,
immediately!
