RealTimes Desktop Service 18.1.4 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability in the rpdsvc.exe binary that allows local attackers to escalate privileges. Attackers can place malicious executables in unquoted path directories to execute arbitrary code with LocalSystem privileges during service startup or system reboot.
The RealNetworks RealArcade platform includes an ActiveX control (InstallerDlg.dll, version 2.6.0.445) that exposes a method named Exec via the StubbyUtil.ProcessMgr COM object. This method allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on a victim's Windows machine without proper validation or restrictions. This platform was sometimes referred to or otherwise known as RealArcade or Arcade Games and has since consolidated with RealNetworks' platform, GameHouse.
In Real Player through 20.1.0.312, attackers can execute arbitrary code by placing a UNC share pathname (for a DLL file) in a RAM file.
In Real Player 20.0.7.309 and 20.0.8.310, external::Import() allows download of arbitrary file types and Directory Traversal, leading to Remote Code Execution. This occurs because it is possible to plant executables in the startup folder (DLL planting could also occur).
In Real Player 20.0.8.310, there is a DCP:// URI Remote Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability. This is an internal URL Protocol used by Real Player to reference a file that contains an URL. It is possible to inject script code to arbitrary domains. It is also possible to reference arbitrary local files.
In Real Player 20.0.8.310, the G2 Control allows injection of unsafe javascript: URIs in local HTTP error pages (displayed by Internet Explorer core). This leads to arbitrary code execution.
RealOne Player 2.0 Build 6.0.11.872 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (array out-of-bounds access and application crash) via a crafted .aiff file.
RealPlayer 16.0.2.32 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a crafted mp4 file.
Improper handling of a repeating VRAT chunk in qcpfformat.dll allows attackers to cause a Null pointer dereference and crash in RealNetworks RealPlayer 18.1.5.705 through a crafted .QCP media file.
RealNetworks GameHouse RealArcade Installer (aka ActiveMARK Game Installer) 2.6.0.481 and 3.0.7 uses weak permissions (Create Files/Write Data) for the GameHouse Games directory tree, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in an individual game's directory, as demonstrated by DDRAW.DLL in the Zuma Deluxe directory.
The RACInstaller.StateCtrl.1 ActiveX control in InstallerDlg.dll in RealNetworks GameHouse RealArcade Installer 2.6.0.481 performs unexpected type conversions for invalid parameter types, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via crafted arguments to the (1) AddTag, (2) Ping, (3) QueuePause, (4) QueueRemove, (5) QueueTop, (6) RemoveTag, (7) TagRemoved, or (8) message method.
Multiple buffer overflows in RealNetworks RealPlayer before 17.0.10.8 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed (1) elst or (2) stsz atom in an MP4 file.
The GetGUID function in codecs/dmp4.dll in RealNetworks RealPlayer 16.0.3.51 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (write access violation and application crash) via a malformed .3gp file.
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in RealNetworks RealPlayer before 17.0.4.61 on Windows, and Mac RealPlayer before 12.0.1.1738, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long (1) version number or (2) encoding declaration in the XML declaration of an RMP file, a different issue than CVE-2013-6877.
Heap-based buffer overflow in RealNetworks RealPlayer before 17.0.4.61 on Windows, and Mac RealPlayer before 12.0.1.1738, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string in the TRACKID element of an RMP file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-7260.
Stack-based buffer overflow in RealNetworks RealPlayer before 16.0.3.51, and RealPlayer SP 1.0 through 1.1.5, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .rmp file.
RealNetworks RealPlayer before 16.0.3.51, and RealPlayer SP 1.0 through 1.1.5, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a malformed RealMedia file.
RealNetworks RealPlayer 16.0.2.32 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption or application crash) via an HTML document containing JavaScript code that constructs a long string.
Heap-based buffer overflow in RealNetworks RealPlayer before 16.0.1.18 and RealPlayer SP 1.0 through 1.1.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed MP4 file.
RealNetworks RealPlayer before 16.0.0.282 and RealPlayer SP 1.0 through 1.1.5 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a RealAudio file that triggers access to an invalid pointer.
Buffer overflow in RealNetworks RealPlayer before 16.0.0.282 and RealPlayer SP 1.0 through 1.1.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted RealMedia file.
Stack-based buffer overflow in RealNetworks RealPlayer 15.0.5.109 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ZIP file that triggers incorrect processing of long pathnames by the Watch Folders feature.
Buffer overflow in RealNetworks RealPlayer before 15.0.6.14, RealPlayer SP 1.0 through 1.1.5, and Mac RealPlayer before 12.0.1.1750 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted AAC file that is not properly handled during stream-data unpacking.
Buffer overflow in RealNetworks RealPlayer before 15.0.6.14, RealPlayer SP 1.0 through 1.1.5, and Mac RealPlayer before 12.0.1.1750 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted RealMedia file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-2410.
RealNetworks RealPlayer before 15.0.6.14, RealPlayer SP 1.0 through 1.1.5, and Mac RealPlayer before 12.0.1.1750 do not properly handle codec frame sizes in RealAudio files, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file.
The AAC SDK in RealNetworks RealPlayer before 15.0.6.14, RealPlayer SP 1.0 through 1.1.5, and Mac RealPlayer before 12.0.1.1750 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted AAC file that is not properly handled during decoding.
Buffer overflow in RealNetworks RealPlayer before 15.0.6.14, RealPlayer SP 1.0 through 1.1.5, and Mac RealPlayer before 12.0.1.1750 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted RealMedia file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-2409.
Untrusted search path vulnerability in RealPlayer SP 1.1.5 12.0.0.879 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse rio500.dll file in the current working directory, as demonstrated by a directory that contains a .avi file. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
