A buffer overflow vulnerability in RealNetworks' flagship RealPlayer software could put millions of users at risk of PC takeover, the company warned in an advisory. The flaw, which carries a "high risk" rating, affects the RealOne Player, RealOne Player v2, RealPlayer 10, RealPlayer 8 and RealPlayer Enterprise.
eEye Digital Security, the company that discovered and reported the vulnerability to RealNetworks, said a remote attacker could overwrite heap memory with arbitrary data and execute malicious code via the digital media player.
