Description

This module exploits a memory corruption vulnerability on the Citrix NetScaler Appliance.
The vulnerability exists in the SOAP handler, accessible through the web interface. A
malicious SOAP requests can force the handler to connect to a malicious NetScaler config
server. This malicious config server can send a specially crafted response in order to
trigger a memory corruption and overwrite data in the stack, to finally execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the web server running the SOAP handler. This module has been
tested successfully on the NetScaler Virtual Appliance 450010.
