iDefense Reports:

Remote exploitation of a heap-based buffer overflow in RealNetwork Inc's RealPlayer could allow the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged in user.

In order to exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to entice a user to follow a link to a malicious server. Once the user visits a website under the control of an attacker, it is possible in a default install of RealPlayer to force a web-browser to use RealPlayer to connect to an arbitrary server, even when it is not the default application for handling those types, by the use of embedded object tags in a webpage. This may allow automated exploitation when the page is viewed.

Secunia reports:

Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in RealPlayer/RealOne/HelixPlayer, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

An input validation error when processing .RA/.RAM files can be exploited to cause a heap corruption via a specially crafted .RA/.RAM file with an overly large size field in the header.

An error in the processing of .PLS files can be exploited to cause a memory corruption and execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted .PLS file.

An input validation error when parsing .SWF files can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted .SWF file with malformed record headers.

A boundary error when processing rm files can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow.
