DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Citrix XenDesktop, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to an error within the
implementation of Client Drive Mapping when enforcing a policy on the
Virtual Desktop Agent. This could lead to the users being able to
access otherwise restricted client drives.

Successful exploitation requires that a server-side policy is used to
disable Client Drive Mapping.

The security issue is reported in version 4.0.

SOLUTION:
Apply hotfix.
