RESOLUTION
The vulnerability can be resolved by enabling the Secure Channel feature. This resolution requires installation of LoadRunner v9.50 or subsequent.
Note:
Starting with version 9.50 LoadRunner has provided a documented feature called “Secure Channel.�? Secure Channel prevents non-trusted sources from transmitting code to the Load Generators by establishing an encrypted and secured communication channel.
Secure Channel is disabled by default.
There are detailed instructions regarding Secure Channel in the HP LoadRunner Controller User's Guide. See the chapter 'Secure Host Communication'. The chapter sections 'Local Security Configuration' and 'Remote Security Configuration' have instructions to enforce secure communication using the Secure Channel feature. Using Secure Channel involves both enabling the Secure Channel feature and setting the security key.
