Summary
The Independent Management Architecture (IMA) service (ImaSrv.exe) in Citrix MetaFrame XP 1.0 and 2.0, and Presentation Server 3.0 and 4.0, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (service exit) via a crafted packet that causes the service to access an unmapped memory address and triggers an unhandled exception.
