Detail
| Problem Description: RealPlayer 10.0.9 as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Extras, 4 Extras, and 5 Supplementary, contains a security flaw and should not be used. This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. [Updated 17 September 2008] We have updated this erratum to include packages which remove RealPlayer from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Extras, 4 Extras and 5 Supplementary. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 Extras - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 Extras - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 Extras - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 Extras - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 Extras - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 4 Extras - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 Extras - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 Extras - i386, x86_64 RHEL Desktop Supplementary (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 RHEL Supplementary (v. 5 server) - i386, x86_64 3. Description: RealPlayer is a media player that provides media playback locally and via streaming. RealPlayer 10.0.9 is vulnerable to a critical security flaw and should no longer be used. A remote attacker could leverage this flaw to execute arbitrary code as the user running RealPlayer. (CVE-2007-5400) This issue is addressed in RealPlayer 11. Red Hat is unable to ship RealPlayer 11 due to additional proprietary codecs included in that version. Therefore, users who wish to continue to use RealPlayer should get an update directly from www.real.com. This update removes the RealPlayer 10.0.9 packages due to their known security vulnerabilities. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188 5.
