Synopsis
The LoadRunner agent listening on TCP port 54345 suffers from a remote stack buffer overflow. The issue occurs when processing crafted packets with "-server_type=2" and an overly long "-server_name=AAAAA..." connection request. The agent passes the request to the mchan.dll library which constructs the name of a shared memory object in a stack buffer that is only 256 bytes. This may lead to remote code execution.
Solution
HP has released an upgrade for LoadRunner (version 12.53) to correct this issue. Please consult the vendor advisory for details.
