Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CAN-2005-1766 CAN-2005-2710
Debian Bug : 316276 330364
Multiple security vulnerabilities have been identified in the
helix-player media player that could allow an attacker to execute code
on the victim's machine via specially crafted network resources.
CAN-2005-1766
Buffer overflow in the RealText parser could allow remote code
execution via a specially crafted RealMedia file with a long
RealText string.
CAN-2005-2710
Format string vulnerability in Real HelixPlayer and RealPlayer 10
allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the image
handle attribute in a RealPix (.rp) or RealText (.rt) file.
For the stable distribution (sarge), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.4-1sarge1
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.6-1
We recommend that you upgrade your helix-player package.
