Security News > 2020 > January > Citrix Accelerates Patch Rollout For Critical RCE Flaw
Citrix has quickened its rollout of patches for a critical vulnerability in the Citrix Application Delivery Controller and Citrix Gateway products, on the heels of recent proof-of-concept exploits and skyrocketing exploitation attempts.
While Citrix originally said some versions would get a patch Jan. 31, it has now also shortened that timeframe, saying fixes are forthcoming on Jan 24.
Citrix patched Citrix ADC and Citrix Gateway version 11.1 and 12 on Jan. 19 - a day earlier than it had expected to.
"CISA strongly recommends users and administrators update Citrix ADC, Citrix Gateway, and Citrix SD-WAN WANOP once the appropriate firmware updates become available," according to a Monday CISA alert on the patches.
"The fixed builds can be downloaded from Citrix Downloads pages for Citrix ADC and Citrix Gateway. Until the appropriate update is accessible, users and administrators should apply Citrix's interim mitigation steps for CVE-2019-19781."
