CVE-2019-19781
Citrix在2019年12月17日发布了安全公告 CTX267027 ( https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX267027 )
CVE-2019-19781的缓解步骤 CTX267679 ( https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX267679 )
缓解策略是阻止通过任何IP（VIP，例如vpn vserver或启用管理的nsip / snips）进行访问。nsapimgr命令确保全局绑定的响应者策略（可通过任何VIP保护所有Web请求）也将适用于管理ip。目前，建议是保护所有入口点。

Symptoms or Error
On December 17 2019 Citrix released security bulletin CTX267027: A vulnerability in Citrix Application Delivery Controller (ADC), formerly known as NetScaler ADC, and Citrix Gateway, formerly known as NetScaler Gateway, that could lead to arbitrary code execution.Solution
The following configuration changes serve as a mitigation to the aforementioned vulnerability.Standalone System
Run the following commands from the command line interface of the appliance to create a responder action and policy:enable ns feature responder add responder action respondwith403 respondwith "\"HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden\r\n\r\n\"" add responder policy ctx267027 "HTTP.REQ.URL.DECODE_USING_TEXT_MODE.CONTAINS(\"/vpns/\") && (!CLIENT.SSLVPN.IS_SSLVPN || HTTP.REQ.URL.DECODE_USING_TEXT_MODE.CONTAINS(\"/../\"))" respondwith403 bind responder global ctx267027 1 END -type REQ_OVERRIDE save config
Ensure that the changes apply to the management interfaces as well. From the command line interface, please run the following commands.
shell nsapimgr_wr.sh -ys skip_systemaccess_policyeval=0 shell "echo 'nsapimgr_wr.sh -ys skip_systemaccess_policyeval=0' >> /nsconfig/rc.netscaler" reboot
HA Pair
On primary:
enable ns feature responder add responder action respondwith403 respondwith "\"HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden\r\n\r\n\"" add responder policy ctx267027 "HTTP.REQ.URL.DECODE_USING_TEXT_MODE.CONTAINS(\"/vpns/\") && (!CLIENT.SSLVPN.IS_SSLVPN || HTTP.REQ.URL.DECODE_USING_TEXT_MODE.CONTAINS(\"/../\"))" respondwith403 bind responder global ctx267027 1 END -type REQ_OVERRIDE save config shell nsapimgr_wr.sh -ys skip_systemaccess_policyeval=0 shell "echo 'nsapimgr_wr.sh -ys skip_systemaccess_policyeval=0' >> /nsconfig/rc.netscaler" reboot
On secondary after primary comes up:
shell nsapimgr_wr.sh -ys skip_systemaccess_policyeval=0 shell "echo 'nsapimgr_wr.sh -ys skip_systemaccess_policyeval=0' >> /nsconfig/rc.netscaler" reboot
Cluster
On CLIP:
enable ns feature responder add responder action respondwith403 respondwith "\"HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden\r\n\r\n\"" add responder policy ctx267027 "HTTP.REQ.URL.DECODE_USING_TEXT_MODE.CONTAINS(\"/vpns/\") && (!CLIENT.SSLVPN.IS_SSLVPN || HTTP.REQ.URL.DECODE_USING_TEXT_MODE.CONTAINS(\"/../\"))" respondwith403 bind responder global ctx267027 1 END -type REQ_OVERRIDE save config shell nsapimgr_wr.sh -ys skip_systemaccess_policyeval=0 shell "echo 'nsapimgr_wr.sh -ys skip_systemaccess_policyeval=0' >> /nsconfig/rc.netscaler" reboot
Each cluster node:
shell nsapimgr_wr.sh -ys skip_systemaccess_policyeval=0 shell "echo 'nsapimgr_wr.sh -ys skip_systemaccess_policyeval=0' >> /nsconfig/rc.netscaler" reboot
Admin partition
switch ns partition default enable ns feature responder add responder action respondwith403 respondwith "\"HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden\r\n\r\n\"" add responder policy ctx267027 "HTTP.REQ.URL.DECODE_USING_TEXT_MODE.CONTAINS(\"/vpns/\") && (!CLIENT.SSLVPN.IS_SSLVPN || HTTP.REQ.URL.DECODE_USING_TEXT_MODE.CONTAINS(\"/../\"))" respondwith403 bind responder global ctx267027 1 END -type REQ_OVERRIDE save config shell nsapimgr_wr.sh -ys skip_systemaccess_policyeval=0 shell "echo 'nsapimgr_wr.sh -ys skip_systemaccess_policyeval=0' >> /nsconfig/rc.netscaler" reboot
Procedure to revert the changes (Standalone,CLIP, HA Primary)
unbind responder global ctx267027 rm responder policy ctx267027 rm responder action respondwith403 save configRemove nsapi command from rc.netscaler. (Below command will search rc.netscaler file for the below pattern and remove the line that was originally added)
shell nsapimgr_wr.sh -ys skip_systemaccess_policyeval=1 shell "sed -i '' '/skip_systemaccess_policyeval=0/d' /nsconfig/rc.netscaler" rebootThe reboot, in each of the scenarios above, is not necessary to apply the policy but it is a precautionary step to ensure that if there are any open sessions,obtained via the vulnerability prior to policy application, are cleared.
Additional Information
Priority conflict
The priority given to the responder policy is 1. If there are any other responder policies bound with the same priority, the policy binding might fail. Customers are advised to adjust the priorities of other policies appropriately while making sure that the policy given here gets priority 1
The ‘skip_systemaccess_policyeval’ Flag
This flag ensures that the responder policies are evaluated on the admin portal traffic.
If the admin portal IP is in a secured environment, this knob is not needed.
Enabling this might cause some obstruction to some admin pages. In such a case, the customer can toggle the flag during their maintenance window and set it back to the value ‘1’.
Nodes that are removed from a cluster are vulnerable
When a cluster node is removed, its config is cleared. The above responder policies and hence the protection that comes with them are also cleared. Therefore, the node would lose the protections provided by these mitigation steps.Plugin download link from Admin UI
The current admin UI has a link to download the plugins (/vpns/scripts/vista/*.exe). This link has "vpns" in it and thus will not be accessible after this fix./vpns/ in the backend url
If there is any backend webserver resource which has /vpns/ in its path, that resource will be blocked.
