4) Description of Vulnerability

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Citrix Access
Gateway Plug-in for Windows, which can be exploited by malicious
people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused by a boundary error in the nsepacom
ActiveX control (nsepa.exe) when processing HTTP responses based on
the request via the "StartEpa()" method. This can be exploited to 
cause a heap-based buffer overflow via an overly long "CSEC" HTTP
response header.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
