CVE-2015-2033
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedAnyterm Daemon in Infoblox Network Automation NetMRI before NETMRI-23483 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges via a crafted terminal/anyterm-module request.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe Anyterm Daemon component in Infoblox Network Automation NetMRI contains a command injection vulnerability allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges through crafted terminal/anyterm-module requests. This is a critical remote code execution flaw in the anyterm module.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if NetMRI is installedCheck for the presence of NetMRI installation directories (typically /opt/netmri or similar) or query the system for Infoblox NetMRI packages.Affected if NetMRI software is present on the system
-
Determine the installed NetMRI versionRun the command to display the NetMRI version, often available via 'show version' CLI command on the appliance or check version files in the installation directory.Affected if The installed version is 6.8.2.11 or lower
-
Verify anyterm module accessibilityCheck if the anyterm daemon port (typically 4432 or similar) is listening and accessible on the NetMRI appliance.Affected if The anyterm port is open and responding to requests
-
Check for anyterm processInspect running processes for anyterm-related daemons using commands like 'ps aux | grep anyterm'.Affected if The anyterm daemon process is running on the system
A system is affected if it runs Infoblox NetMRI version 6.8.2.11 or lower with the anyterm module enabled and accessible on the network.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade NetMRI to version NETMRI-23483 or later to obtain the patched anyterm daemon component.
