"The remote NetScaler ADC (formerly Citrix ADC) or NetScaler Gateway (formerly Citrix Gateway) device is
13.1 prior to 13.1-64.28, or 14.1 prior to 14.1-73.41, or 13.1-FIPS/NDcPP prior to 13.1-37.282, or 14.1-FIPS
prior to 14.1-73.41. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Citrix NetScaler ADC (formerly Citrix ADC) and Citrix NetScaler Gateway (formerly Citrix Gateway) contain 
    an improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer vulnerability that could allow 
    for a denial of service. (CVE-2026-88779)

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