version 14.1 prior to 14.1-47.48, 13.1 prior to 13.1-59.22, 13.1-FIPS prior to 13.1-37.241-FIPS, or 12.1-FIPS
prior to 12.1-55.330-FIPS. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Memory overflow vulnerability leading to Remote Code Execution and/or Denial of Service in NetScaler ADC
  and NetScaler Gateway when NetScaler is configured as Gateway (VPN virtual server, ICA Proxy, CVPN, RDP
  Proxy) or AAA virtual server (OR) NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway 13.1, 14.1, 13.1-FIPS and NDcPP: LB
  virtual servers of type (HTTP, SSL or HTTP_QUIC) bound with IPv6 services or servicegroups bound with IPv6
  servers (OR) NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway 13.1, 14.1, 13.1-FIPS and NDcPP: LB virtual servers of type
  (HTTP, SSL or HTTP_QUIC) bound with DBS IPv6 services or servicegroups bound with IPv6 DBS servers (OR) CR
  virtual server with type HDX (CVE-2025-7775)

  - Memory overflow vulnerability leading to unpredictable or erroneous behavior and Denial of Service in
  NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway when NetScaler is configured as a Gateway (VPN virtual server, ICA
  Proxy, CVPN, RDP Proxy) with PCoIP Profile bounded to it (CVE-2025-7776)
  
  - Improper access control on the NetScaler Management Interface in NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway when
  an attacker can get access to the appliance NSIP, Cluster Management IP or local GSLB Site IP or SNIP with
  Management Access (CVE-2025-8424)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
