CVE-2025-6543Citrix NetScaler — memory overflow diverts control flow

NetScaler appliances configured as a gateway or an authentication virtual server overflow memory, which sends control flow somewhere it should never go and takes the service down.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Apply the Citrix fix from CTX694788 now; the appliance fronts remote access, so patch it ahead of the next maintenance window rather than during it.
