The PNG deflate algorithm in RealOne Player 6.0.11.x and earlier, RealPlayer 8/RealPlayer Plus 8 6.0.9.584, and other versions allows remote attackers to corrupt the heap and overwrite arbitrary memory via a PNG graphic file format containing compressed data using fixed trees that contain the length values 286-287, which are treated as a very large length.
