Synopsis
========

RealPlayer is vulnerable to a buffer overflow that could lead to remote
execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==========

RealPlayer is a multimedia player capable of handling multiple
multimedia file formats.

Affected packages
=================

     -------------------------------------------------------------------
      Package                 /  Vulnerable  /               Unaffected
     -------------------------------------------------------------------
   1  media-video/realplayer      < 10.0.7                    >= 10.0.7

Description
===========

RealPlayer is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when processing malicious
SWF files.

Impact
======

By enticing a user to open a specially crafted SWF file an attacker
could execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running
the application.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All RealPlayer users should upgrade to the latest version:

     # emerge --sync
     # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/realplayer-10.0.7"
