Description:
http-equiv has discovered a vulnerability in RealPlayer, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
The problem is that RealMedia ".rm" files can open local files in the built-in browser. This can be exploited by e.g. a malicious website to load a local HTML document in a local context via a specially crafted RealMedia file.
Exploit code has been published which combines this vulnerability with a publicly known vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer to compromise a user's system, see:
SA12889
The vulnerability has been confirmed on version 10.5 (build 6.0.12.1056). Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Don't open untrusted ".rm" files and restrict ".rm" files from being opened automatically from within browsers.
