Control-M/EM PANFT.9.0.21.201

BMC Software is releasing Control-M/EM patch PANFT.9.0.21.201 to correct several problems and to support Chinese localization in Control-M Web.

Information
Important

Verify that Control-M/EM 9.0.21.200 is installed before you install this patch.

Corrected Problems

The following table describes the problems that are corrected in Control-M/EM PANFT.9.0.21.201.

Tracking NumberDescription

CTM-9474

An entire folder is ordered, rather than only the jobs (within the folder) that were loaded to the Workspace. This occurs in Control-M Web after you close and reopen the Workspace and then order the Workspace.

Note: The problem is corrected in any new Workspace that you create after installing the patch. For existing Workspaces that were created before installation of this patch, the issue is not yet resolved. We recommend that you create a new Workspace before any manual run (order), and not run old Workspaces.

CTM-9503

Reporting access control is not enforced properly for internal users.

In this bug, CVE-2024-1604 is detected.

CTM-9504

Installation directory access protection is insufficient for files in use by Control-M.

In this bug, CVE-2024-1605 is detected.

CTM-9802

A security vulnerability CVE-2024-1606 is detected in the Report naming functionality.
