Synopsis
========
RealPlayer is vulnerable to a buffer overflow allowing for execution of
arbitrary code.
Background
==========
RealPlayer is a multimedia player capable of handling multiple
multimedia file formats.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-video/realplayer < 10.0.9 >= 10.0.9
Description
===========
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been reported in the
SmilTimeValue::parseWallClockValue() function in smlprstime.cpp when
handling HH:mm:ss.f type time formats.
Impact
======
By enticing a user to open a specially crafted SMIL (Synchronized
Multimedia Integration Language) file, an attacker could be able to
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
application.
Workaround

Resolution
==========
All RealPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/realplayer-10.0.9"
