Detail

Synopsis

RealPlayer is vulnerable to a buffer overflow allowing for the execution of arbitrary code.

Background

RealPlayer is a multimedia player capable of handling multiple multimedia file formats.

Description

Dyon Balding of Secunia Research reported an unspecified heap-based buffer overflow in the Shockwave Flash (SWF) frame handling.

Impact

By enticing a user to open a specially crafted SWF (Shockwave Flash)
file, a remote attacker could be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All RealPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync #
emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/realplayer-11.0.0.4028-r1"
