Description
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".

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a stack-based buffer overflow that can be remotely triggered in the Control-M/Agent software when SSL/TLS communication is configured with certain non-default settings. Specifically, it occurs when formatting an error message under these conditions: in Control-M/Agent 9.0.20 with 'use_openssl=n' set, or in versions 9.0.21 and 9.0.22 when both 'JAVA_AR=N' and 'use_openssl=n' are configured. This overflow could allow an attacker to cause unexpected behavior or potentially execute code remotely.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can impact you by allowing a remote attacker to trigger a stack-based buffer overflow in the Control-M/Agent software, potentially leading to denial of service or limited integrity impact. According to the CVSS v3.1 score, it has no confidentiality or availability impact but can affect integrity. The attacker does not require privileges or user interaction to exploit this vulnerability.
