(RHSA-2005:265) RealPlayer security update

RealPlayer is a media player.

A stack based buffer overflow bug was found in RealPlayer’s Synchronized
Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) file processor. An attacker could
create a specially crafted SMIL file which would execute arbitrary code
when opened by a user. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0455 to this issue.

A buffer overflow bug was found in the way RealPlayer decodes WAV sound
files. An attacker could create a specially crafted WAV file which could
execute arbitrary code when opened by a user. The Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0611
to this issue.

All users of RealPlayer are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which contains RealPlayer version 10.0.3 and is not vulnerable to these issues.
