Synopsis

A multimedia application on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its build number, the installed version of RealPlayer on the remote Windows host is earlier than 16.0.0.282. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- An error exists related to 'RealAudio' handling and invalid pointers that can allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2012-5690)

Solution

Upgrade to RealPlayer 16.0.0.282 or later.
