CVE-2016-9796
CriticalSummary
OmniVista 8770 versions 2.0 to 3.0 exposes different ORB interfaces that can be queried using the GIOP protocol on TCP port 30024. An attacker can bypass authentication and invoke methods that allow running arbitrary commands on the server with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges.
Risk Assessment
Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to full server compromise, posing a serious security threat to the organization.
Recommendation
It is recommended to apply proper firewall rules to prevent unauthorized clients from connecting to the OmniVista server.

Original NVD description (English source)
Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista 8770 2.0 through 3.0 exposes different ORBs interfaces, which can be queried using the GIOP protocol on TCP port 30024. An attacker can bypass authentication, and OmniVista invokes methods (AddJobSet, AddJob, and ExecuteNow) that can be used to run arbitrary commands on the server, with the privilege of NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM on the server. NOTE: The discoverer states "The vendor position is to refer to the technical guidelines of the product security deployment to mitigate this issue, which means applying proper firewall rules to prevent unauthorised clients to connect to the OmniVista server."
