DescriptionCVE.org

Memory overflow vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Citrix NetScaler Gateway.

This issue affects ADC: before 14.1-73.37, before 13.1-64.23, before 14.1-73.37 FIPS, and before 13.1.37.279 FIPS and NDcPP; Gateway: before 14.1-73.37 and before 13.1-64.23 leading Memory overflow vulnerability leading to unpredictable or erroneous behavior or Denial of Service

AnalysisAI

Memory overflow in Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway running versions prior to 14.1-73.37 or 13.1-64.23 (and the corresponding FIPS/NDcPP builds) can be triggered over the network by an unauthenticated attacker with no user interaction, producing unpredictable or erroneous appliance behavior or a denial of service. The assessed vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H) is dominated by availability impact, with only incidental confidentiality and integrity exposure, so the demonstrated risk is service disruption rather than confirmed remote code execution. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network reachability to a NetScaler ADC or Gateway instance running a version prior to 14.1-73.37, 13.1-64.23, or the corresponding FIPS/NDcPP builds (13.1.37.279 FIPS/NDcPP). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:H) describes a network-reachable, unauthenticated, low-complexity flaw whose dominant impact is availability (VA:H) with only incidental confidentiality/integrity impact (VC:L/VI:L) - consistent with a memory overflow that produces 'unpredictable or erroneous behavior or Denial of Service' rather than reliable code execution. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the vendor-published fixed builds: upgrade NetScaler ADC to 14.1-73.37 or 13.1-64.23 (or later), FIPS/NDcPP deployments to 14.1-73.37 FIPS or 13.1.37.279 FIPS/NDcPP, and NetScaler Gateway to 14.1-73.37 or 13.1-64.23 (or later); the authoritative upgrade instructions and the full coordinated advisory for this and seven related CVEs are at Citrix bulletin CTX697096 (https://support.citrix.com/support-home/kbsearch/article?articleNumber=CTX697096). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all internet-facing Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway instances and apply vendor-released patch versions 14.1-73.37 or 13.1-64.23 (and corresponding FIPS/NDcPP builds); if immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network access to trusted management networks and enable logging. …
