The RMI (Remote Method Invocation) service of JBoss listens on port 1099 or 9099. However, the "jboss.system:service=MainDeployer" feature is reachable by all RMI clients. An attacker can thus use this feature to deploy a service, with administrator's privileges.
An attacker can therefore connect to the RMI service of Cisco Prime Data Center Network Manager, in order to execute code with System/root privileges.
The Cisco DCNM-SAN Server and Cisco DNCM-LAN Server products are vulnerable.
