Per MS, the issue indeed extends to both listeners, ICA and RDP. There has
not been a security hotfix for Termsrv.dll for years. A couple of
supporting components got hotfixed in March, but termsrv.dll was left out.
Either of the two articles below fix the issue. I use the newer one
(977629) as it has tested without issue and might keep me out of hot water
down the road.

Here is the Citrix writeup: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX133141
Here is Microsoft's writeup: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2653956
This is good info to keep on file for anyone dealing with Citrix/Terminal
Services on 2003.
