Buffer overflow in the Independent Management Architecture (IMA) service in Citrix Presentation Server (MetaFrame Presentation Server) 4.5 and earlier, Access Essentials 2.0 and earlier, and Desktop Server 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an invalid size value in a packet to TCP port 2512 or 2513.
CVE-2008-0356
This CVE was only ever scored under CVSS v2.0. NVD CVSS v2.0 base 10.0 — v2 rates that HIGH (v2 bands: LOW 0.0–3.9 / MEDIUM 4.0–6.9 / HIGH 7.0–10.0; v2 has no CRITICAL band). Vector AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C. CVSS v2 is an older, coarser metric than v3.1/v4.0 (no Scope, no User Interaction, no Attack Requirements), so it is not directly comparable to a v3 or v4 score. NVD has never re-scored this record under v3. EPSS predicts 73.0% exploitation probability in the next 30 days, which is reflected in EG Risk but does not lift the v2 base. Confidence: LOW.
- High exploitation likelihood — EPSS 73%
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
