Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
RealPlayer is vulnerable to a buffer overflow allowing for the
execution of arbitrary code.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
RealPlayer is a multimedia player capable of handling multiple
multimedia file formats.
Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-video/realplayer < 11.0.0.4028-r1 >=3D 11.0.0.4028-r1
Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Dyon Balding of Secunia Research reported an unspecified heap-based
buffer overflow in the Shockwave Flash (SWF) frame handling.
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
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
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All RealPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
#=20
emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dmedia-video/realplayer-11.0.0.4028-r1"
