Sony PC Companion version 2.1 suffers from a boundary error in PluginManager.dll when handling the value assigned to the 'Path' item in the Admin_RemoveDirectory function and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long string which may lead to execution of arbitrary code on the affected machine.
