CVE-2015-5417
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 · uneditedUnspecified vulnerability in HP KeyView before 10.23.0.1 and 10.24.x before 10.24.0.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, aka ZDI-CAN-2876.
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 confidenceHP KeyView, a file parsing and visualization product, contains an unspecified vulnerability allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. The flaw is exploitable over the network without authentication (CVSS 7.5), affecting versions prior to 10.23.0.1 and 10.24.x prior to 10.24.0.1.

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.
-
Locate HP KeyView installationSearch for HP KeyView installation directories or check for KeyView-related services and processes running on the systemAffected if HP KeyView is installed and running on the system
-
Identify installed HP KeyView versionUse system inventory tools, check installation metadata, or query the KeyView application for its version information (e.g., keyview -v, or check product information in Add/Remove Programs on Windows)Affected if The version returned is 10.23.0.0 or 10.24.0.0 (these specific minor versions are vulnerable)
-
Compare version to affected rangesMatch the identified version against the vulnerable ranges: 10.23.0.0 through 10.23.0.0.x (prior to 10.23.0.1) OR 10.24.0.0 through 10.24.0.0.x (prior to 10.24.0.1)Affected if The installed version falls within >= 10.23.0.0 and < 10.23.0.1, or >= 10.24.0.0 and < 10.24.0.1
-
Verify network exposureCheck if KeyView services are exposed to network access or if firewall rules permit external connections to KeyView portsAffected if KeyView is accessible over the network without authentication
A system is affected if HP KeyView is installed with a version in the ranges 10.23.0.0 to 10.23.0.0.x (before 10.23.0.1) or 10.24.0.0 to 10.24.0.0.x (before 10.24.0.1) and the service is network-accessible.

From vendor data10.23.0.110.24.0.1
Upgrade HP KeyView to version 10.23.0.1 or 10.24.0.1 or later. If immediate patching is not possible, consider network segmentation and restricting access to KeyView services.
