Yep, XP and Server 2003's "calc" launches Notepad when you view the
eula.txt ;) Vista and 2008 do not... they just open a pop-up window in
the same calc.exe process. Any time you deploy remote desktop/remote
app solutions, you really need to ensure that you've covered all your
bases and ensured that you don't just count on the remote app deployment
mechanism to secure you -- you've got to have your permissions tight.

Subject: Citrix application breakout - take care of Microsoft
calculator
Dear all,
I'm not shure if the following issue is already known or exciting,
nevertheless the following attack vector found during a penetration
test
might be interesting:
A customer has built a Citrix environment for a partner company to
provide access to a specific application. This application was
intended
to be the only application accessible for this partner. It was
possible
to get a remote task manager with CRTL-F3, but no other way of
interacting with the Citrix Server (e.g. through printing or so).
Unfortunately they have integrated Microsoft's calculator into the
application. A bad idea - guess why ;-).
Using the calculator you are able to do funny stuff: Open the
calculator
and click "info". Klick on the licence agreement and here you go, you
have got an editor. With this you can use "open file" and browse the
server, find for example Word and rightclick on "Open" - Word is
running, and all other applications which you like as well ...
I think this can easily be fixed using more restrictive file
permissions, but I thought maybe some of you might find this
information
useful.
Stefan
