<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
By enticing a user to play a specially crafted realpix (.rp) or
|
|
realtext (.rt) file, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the
|
|
permissions 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 ">=media-video/realplayer-10.0.6"</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note to Helix Player users: There is currently no stable secure Helix
|
|
Player package. Affected users should remove the package until an
|
|
updated Helix Player package is released.
