A vulnerability classified as very critical was found in Microsoft Virtual PC 2007. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a access control vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-264. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The memory-management implementation in the Virtual Machine Monitor (aka VMM or hypervisor) in Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 Gold and SP1, Virtual Server 2005 Gold and R2 SP1, and Windows Virtual PC does not properly restrict access from the guest OS to memory locations in the VMM work area, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass certain anti-exploitation protection mechanisms on the guest OS via crafted input to a vulnerable application. NOTE: the vendor reportedly found that only systems with an otherwise vulnerable application are affected, because "the memory areas accessible from the guest cannot be leveraged to achieve either remote code execution or elevation of privilege and ... no data from the host is exposed to the guest OS."

The weakness was presented 04/01/2010 by Nicolas Economou with CORE Security Technologies (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at securityfocus.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2010-1225 since 04/01/2010. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication.
