DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in HP LoadRunner, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when parsing
directives within a Virtual User Script (USR) file and can be
exploited to cause a buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a user into
opening a USR file with overly long directive strings.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in versions 11.0 and 9.50. Other
versions may also be affected

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted USR files. Reportedly, the vendor will fix this
in an upcoming version.
