Description
Memory corruptions can be remotely triggered 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"

CWE ID Description
CWE-787 The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
CWE-416 The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
CWE-835 The product contains an iteration or loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached, i.e., an infinite loop.
CWE-415 The product calls free() twice on the same memory address.
CWE-665 The product does not initialize or incorrectly initializes a resource, which might leave the resource in an unexpected state when it is accessed or used.
CWE-122 A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
CWE-125 The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
CWE-191 The product subtracts one value from another, such that the result is less than the minimum allowable integer value, which produces a value that is not equal to the correct result.

Executive Summary

CVE-2025-55118 is a vulnerability in Control-M/Agent versions 9.0.22 and lower where memory corruption can be triggered remotely during SSL/TLS communication. This happens when certain non-default SSL/TLS configurations are used, such as "use_openssl=n" or "JAVA_AR=N" combined with "use_openssl=n". The issue is due to improper handling within the SSL/TLS protocol implementation, which can cause memory corruption during secure communications. [1]

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can lead to memory corruption remotely, which may be exploited by attackers to cause denial of service, crash the agent, or potentially execute arbitrary code. This impacts the security and stability of systems using affected Control-M/Agent versions with the specified SSL/TLS configurations. [1]

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, ensure that Control-M/Agent is not configured with the non-default SSL/TLS settings that trigger the issue. Specifically, avoid using 'use_openssl=n' in version 9.0.20, and avoid the combination of 'JAVA_AR=N' and 'use_openssl=n' in versions 9.0.21 and 9.0.22. Upgrading to a version higher than 9.0.22 or reverting to default SSL/TLS configurations is recommended. [1]
