An authenticated user who has escaped the management shell
can install a public SSH key which will survive factory resets.
3. Technical Description
1. Create a SSH keypair.
$ ssh-keygen -f netrmi-backdoor
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in netrmi-backdoor.
Your public key has been saved in netrmi-backdoor.pub.
The key fingerprint is:

4. Mitigation and Remediation Recommendation
There is no known remediation for this vulnerability from the
vendor. Administrators should heavily restrict access to any
account of any privilege which can use the ping command in
the NetMRI CLI.
Network access to management interfaces should be properly segmented.
Assuming the lack of input sanitation in the NetMRI CLI is not
addressed: Use that vulnerability to check for the existence
any SSH keys. No keys should be present.
