Synopsis

A multimedia application on the remote Windows host is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

According to its build number, the installed version of RealPlayer on the remote Windows host is earlier than 17.0.4.61. It is, therefore, affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability when handling the 'encoding', 'trackid', and 'version' attributes in RealPlayer Metadata Package (RMP) files that could lead to arbitrary code execution.

Solution

Upgrade to RealPlayer Cloud 17.0.4.61 or later.
