Madrid, March 2, 2005 - RealNetwork has published new versions of its
multimedia player, Real Player, for Windows, Mac and Linux platforms, which
resolve serious vulnerabilities.
These security flaws lie in buffer overflows that can be exploited to run
arbitrary code, compromising affected systems. In order to provoke and
exploit the buffer overflow an attacker would have to create a specially
crafted WAV or SMIL file and persuade the victim to try to open it with a
vulnerable version of Real Player.
The details about the affected versions and the links to the updates are
available in the bulletin released by RealNetworks at:
