-- Vulnerability Details:
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on
vulnerable installations of RealNetworks RealPlayer. User interaction is
required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a
malicious page or open a malicious file.

The specific flaw exists within the Custsupport.html component of the
RealPlayer default installation. Due to a failure to properly sanitize
user-supplied input, it is possible for an attacker to inject arbitrary
code into the RealOneActiveXObject process. This can be abused to bypass
the Local Machine Zone security policy and load unsafe controls.
Successful exploitation of this issue leads to remote code execution
under the context of the RealPlayer application.

-- Vendor Response:
RealNetworks has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More
