<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 &quot;&gt;=media-video/realplayer-10.0.6&quot;</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.
