HP LoadRunner buffer overflow vulnerability
Overview
HP LoadRunner contains a buffer overflow vulnerability when parsing Virtual
User script files.
I. Description
According to HP's website: HP LoadRunner software is the industry standard for
performance validation. It allows you to prevent application performance
problems by detecting bottlenecks before a new system or upgrade is deployed.

User script (.usr) files containing long strings for directives, causing the
HP LoadRunner application to crash.
II. Impact
An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by tricking a user into opening a
crafted .usr file, causing HP LoadRunner to crash leading to possible
execution of arbitrary code.
III. Solution

vulnerability. As of this writing the patch has not been released.
