The link given within the output from this plugin

says that this vulnerability "DOES NOT affect RealServer 8.02 or
later" but does recommend that users do upgrade to 9.0.1.  

True.

I have a
client that says their server is 8.0.2 and not sure why they are
gatting alarmed with this vulnerability that does not seem to really
exist.

Point him/her to the following vendor advisory:

   http://www.service.real.com/help/faq/security/rootexploit082203.html

This is referenced by both CVE-2003-0725 / Bugtraq 8476, which the 
plugin in turn references.

So while I don't agree that this is a false-positive, I do see how the 
description as it currently stands is misleading. I'll update it shortly.
