-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Symantec Vulnerability Research http://www.symantec.com/research Security Advisory Advisory ID: SYMSA-2007-006 Advisory Title: Citrix EPA ActiveX Control Design Flaw Author: Michael White / michael_white (at) symantec (dot) com [email concealed] Release Date: 19-07-2007 Application: Citrix Access Gateway Platform: Internet Explorer/Win32 Severity: Remote arbitrary code execution Vendor status: Patch available CVE Number: CVE-2007-3679 Reference: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/24865 Overview: Citrix Access Gateway offers a clientless SSL VPN solution implemented through a series of browser-based controls. As part of the endpoint validation, the ActiveX control for Internet Explorer downloads and executes a series of executable modules from the remote server. Details: Researchers identified that the endpoint checking control can be embedded in any web page and subverted to download and execute any executable module of the attacker?s choosing. This vulnerability represents a design flaw in the architecture of the endpoint validation practice. A high level of browser trust is required to allow the endpoint checks to function correctly, and the control is signed by Citrix Corporation. Vendor Response: This has been addressed by a product update. See http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX113815 Recommendation: Apply the product update as detailed in http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX113815 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Information: The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the following names to these issues. These are candidates for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org), which standardizes names for security problems.
