Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Virtual PC and Virtual Server, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error within certain components that communicate with the host OS and can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
Successful exploitation allows an administrative user on a guest OS to e.g. execute arbitrary code on the host OS or other guest OS's.
