Heap-based buffer overflow in a DLL file in RealNetworks RealPlayer 10, RealPlayer 10.5 6.0.12.1040 through 6.0.12.1741, RealPlayer 11 11.0.0 through 11.0.4, RealPlayer Enterprise, Mac RealPlayer 10 and 10.1, Linux RealPlayer 10, and Helix Player 10.x allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Internet Video Recording (IVR) file with a modified field that controls an unspecified structure length and triggers heap corruption, related to use of RealPlayer through a Windows Explorer plugin.
Multiple buffer overflows in RealNetworks Helix Server and Helix Mobile Server 11.x before 11.1.8 and 12.x before 12.0.1 allow remote attackers to (1) cause a denial of service via three crafted RTSP SETUP commands, or execute arbitrary code via (2) an NTLM authentication request with malformed base64-encoded data, (3) an RTSP DESCRIBE command, or (4) a DataConvertBuffer request.
Real Networks RealOne Enterprise Desktop 6.0.11.774, RealOne Player 2.0, and RealOne Player 6.0.11.818 through RealOne Player 6.0.11.853 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary script in the local security zone by embedding script in a temp file before the temp file is executed by the default web browser.
Buffer overflow in RealSystem Server 6.x, 7.x and 8.x, and RealSystem Proxy 8.x, related to URL error handling, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code.
RealOne player allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary script in the "My Computer" zone via a SMIL presentation with a URL that references a scripting protocol, which is executed in the security context of the previously loaded URL, as demonstrated using a "javascript:" URL in the area tag.
Buffer overflow in the RTSP protocol parser for the View Source plug-in (vsrcplin.so or vsrcplin3260.dll) for RealNetworks Helix Universal Server 9 and RealSystem Server 8, 7 and RealServer G2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
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.
Real Networks RealServer 7.x allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a malformed request for a page in the viewsource directory.
Buffer overflow in the RealNetworks RealPlayer client versions 6 and 7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long Location URL.
RealNetworks RealServer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending malformed input to the server at port 7070.
RealMedia RealServer reveals the real IP address of a Real Server, even if the address is supposed to be private.
RealMedia server allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long ramgen request.
Real Media RealServer (rmserver) 6.0.3.353 stores a password in plaintext in the world-readable rmserver.cfg file, which allows local users to gain privileges.
RealSystem G2 server stores the administrator password in cleartext in a world-readable configuration file, which allows local users to gain privileges.
pnserver in RealServer 5.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending a short, malformed request.
Buffer overflow in RealNetworks RealServer administration utility allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long username and password.
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.
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.
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2009-4257 to the following vulnerability:
Heap-based buffer overflow in smlrender.dll in RealNetworks RealPlayer 10, RealPlayer 10.5 6.0.12.1040 through 6.0.12.1741, RealPlayer 11 11.0.0 through 11.0.4, RealPlayer Enterprise, Mac RealPlayer 10 and 10.1, Linux RealPlayer 10 and 11.0.0, and Helix Player 10.x and 11.0.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an SMIL file with crafted string lengths.
