Vulnerability in Citrix Presentation Server for Windows could result in
privilege escalation

Document ID: CTX116310   /   Created On: 29 sept. 2008   /   Updated On:
29 sept. 2008

Severity: Low


Description of Problem

A vulnerability has been identified in Citrix Presentation Server for
Windows that could result in an authenticated interactive user
escalating their privilege level.

In order to exploit this vulnerability a user would need sufficient
access rights to create a file in a specific location on the server’s
system drive. On Windows Server 2003-based systems, default file system
access control settings would prevent unprivileged users from doing
this.

This vulnerability affects the following products:

      • Citrix XenApp (formerly Presentation Server) 4.5, including
Feature Pack 1

      • Citrix Presentation Server 4.0

      • Citrix Access Essentials 1.5

      • Citrix Access Essentials 1.0

guidance.
