Description:
eEye Digital Security has reported two vulnerabilities in RealPlayer, RealOne, and HelixPlayer, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
1) A signedness error exists when handling the first data packet in a Real Media ".rm" file. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted ".rm" file that contains values between 0x80 and 0xFF in the application-specific length field.
Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution.
The vulnerability has been reported in the following versions:
* RealPlayer 10.5 (6.0.12.1040-1235) (Windows)
* RealPlayer 10 (Windows)
* RealOne Player v1 (Windows)
* RealOne Player v2 (Windows)
* RealPlayer 8 (Windows)
* RealPlayer Enterprise versions 1.1, 1.2, 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 (Windows)
* RealPlayer 10 (10.0.0.305 - 331) (Mac)
* RealPlayer 10 (10.0.0 - 10.0.5) (Linux)
* Helix Player (10.0.0 - 10.0.5) (Linux)
2) A boundary error exists when extracting a RealPlayer skin ".rjs" file. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow in DUNZIP32.DLL via a malicious ".rjs" file with a specially-crafted file length field.
The vulnerability has been reported in following versions:
* RealPlayer 10.5 (6.0.12.1040-1235) (Windows)
* RealPlayer 10 (Windows)
* RealOne Player v1 (Windows)
* RealOne Player v2 (Windows)
* RealPlayer 8 (Windows)
