Summary

Integer overflow in the StartEpa method in the nsepacom ActiveX control (nsepa.exe) in Citrix Access Gateway Enterprise Edition Plug-in for Windows 9.x before 9.3-57.5 and 10.0 before 10.0-69.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Content-Length HTTP header, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

following vulnerabilities involving the 'StartEPA()' method that could
lead to arbitrary code execution :

    a heap-based buffer overflow when processing overly
    long 'CSEC' HTTP response headers. (CVE-2011-2592)

  - An integer overflow exists that can be exploited to
    cause a heap-based buffer overflow when processing
    specially crafted 'Content-Length' HTTP response
