Secunia: RealPlayer SWF Frame Handling Buffer Overflow - UPDATE

Via Secunia.com.

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in RealPlayer, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a design error within the handling of frames in Shockwave Flash (SWF) files and can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
