A vulnerability has been identified in Citrix Licensing that could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to crash the License Server and potentially execute arbitrary code on the server. Details of this vulnerability is as follows:
Certain remote message parsing functions inside the FlexNet Publisher daemon use a custom string copy function that does not provide proper bounds checking on incoming data. This allows for specially crafted messages to cause a stack buffer overflow. It was also found that the same vulnerable code is packaged into all customer binaries produced by the FlexNet Publisher. [CVE-2015-8277]
