Description
***********
RealOne / RealPlayer is one of the most widely used products for internet
media delivery.  There are currently in excess of 200 million users worlwide
of these products.

Details
*******

By crafting malformed .RP, .RT, .RAM, .RPM & .SMIL files it is possible to
cause heap and stack based overruns in RealPlayer / RealOne Player.  By
forcing a browser to a website containing such a file, code could be
exectued on the target machine running in the context of the logged on user,
