Weakness in Citrix XenDesktop could result in inconsistent propagation of USB
redirection policy changes
Document ID: CTX135813
Created On: Dec 11, 2012
Updated On: Dec 11, 2012
Severity: Low
Description of Problem
The USB redirection feature of Citrix XenDesktop allows a user to redirect USB
devices on the client to their XenDesktop Virtual Desktop Agent (VDA).
A weakness has been identified in the Citrix XenDesktop VDA implementation of
USB redirection that could result in changes to the server-side policy
controlling USB redirection not being propagated to the VDA. This could allow
an authenticated user to gain access to their USB devices in contravention of
the updated administrator-defined policy.
This issue affects all versions of Citrix XenDesktop Virtual Desktop Agent
5.x, up to and including version 5.6.
This vulnerability has been assigned the following CVE number:
CVE-2012-6314
Mitigating Factors
Only customers that have modified server-side policy to disable USB redirection
are affected by this weakness.
