Secunia writes: Description:Two vulnerabilities have been reported in various RealNetworks products, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. 1) A boundary error within the processing of WAV files can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted WAV file. 2) A boundary error within the processing of SMIL files can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted SMIL file. Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows execution of arbitrary code. Solution: Apply patches. RealOne / RealPlayer for Windows and Mac: Patches are available via the "Check for Update" feature.
