Heap-based buffer overflow in the IMA_SECURE_DecryptData1 function in ImaSystem.dll for Citrix MetaFrame XP 1.0 and 2.0, and Presentation Server 3.0 and 4.0, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via requests to the Independent Management Architecture (IMA) service (ImaSrv.exe) with invalid size values that trigger the overflow during decryption.
CVE-2006-5821 is a security vulnerability that . Impacting 2 products from citrix, from citrix organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Originally identified in 2006, this vulnerability predates many modern security frameworks and practices. The vulnerability landscape of that era was characterized by different threat models and less mature defense mechanisms compared to contemporary standards.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For citrix's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
