Title
BMC Control-M/Agent buffer overflow in SSL/TLS communication
Summary
A stack-based buffer overflow can be remotely triggered when formatting an error message in the Control-M/Agent when SSL/TLS communication is configured. The issue occurs in the following cases: * Control-M/Agent 9.0.20: SSL/TLS configuration is set to the non-default setting "use_openssl=n"; * Control-M/Agent 9.0.21 and 9.0.22: Agent router configuration uses the non-default settings "JAVA_AR=N" and "use_openssl=n".
