  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    By enticing a user to open a specially crafted SMIL (Synchronized
    Multimedia Integration Language) file, an attacker could be able to
    execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
    application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All RealPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-video/realplayer-10.0.9"</code>
