Hi,

We're running Metaframe XP for Windows 1.0, Feature Release 2. A vulnerability - Citrix Published Applications Remote Enumeration - has been raised by the site Security Manager. Following a link supplied by the security scanner used (Nessus) to http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/bugtraq/2002-09/0330.html, I received and followed advice to " Disable MetaFrame XP server broadcast response. CMC |
Right-click on farm | MetaFrame Settings tab | Uncheck the
two boxes in the "Broadcast Response" section."

This has not cleared the problem. Is there anything else I should / could do?  In particular, may use of TCP/IP Network protocol rather than TCP/IP + HTTP be contributing to our difficulties?

I'd be extremely grateful for any help with this.

Cheers

Charles

The original problem was discovered by PDP at:

http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/citrix-owning-the-legitimate-backdoor/

And gives you some info regarding the issue, Citrix released this patch:

 But not for XP, looks like you get to go XenApp 5 Yippee
