CVE-2023-6549 is an unauthenticated remote out-of-bounds memory read and denial-of-service vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway. When an affected appliance is configured as a Gateway or AAA virtual server, unsafe processing of the HTTP Host header in GET requests to the authentication webview endpoint can cause incorrect snprintf length handling. The response length can exceed the destination buffer, returning process memory beyond the intended buffer boundary. The same vendor fix also addresses the originally reported denial-of-service condition.
