Subject: High Risk Flaw in RealPlayer
Date: Fri, 11 Nov 2005 16:44:42 -0000
John Heasman of NGSSoftware has discovered a high risk vulnerability in RealPlayer.
Versions affected include:

RealPlayer 10.5 (6.0.12.1040-1235)
RealPlayer 10

(Note: RealOne Player v1 & v2, RealPlayer 8 and RealPlayer Enterprise have also been updated to resolve issues reported by other security researchers)

The flaw permits execution of arbitrary code via a malformed image contained within a skin file. The update can be downloaded from

http://service.real.com/help/faq/security/051110_player/EN/

NGSSoftware are going to withhold details of this flaw for three months. Full details will be published on the 11th of January 2006. This three month window will allow users of RealPlayer the time needed to apply the patch before the details are released to the general public. This reflects NGSSoftware's approach to responsible disclosure.
