Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in RealNetworks RealPlayer 10 and possibly 10.5, and RealOne Player 1 and 2, for Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted playlist (PLS) file.

Un desbordamiento de búfer en la región stack de la memoria en RealNetworks RealPlayer versiones 10 y posiblemente en 10.5, y RealOne Player versiones 1 y 2, para Windows, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de un archivo de lista de reproducción (PLS) diseñada.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute code on vulnerable installations of RealPlayer. User interaction is required in that a user must open a malicious .pls file or visit a malicious web site.
The specific flaw exists during the parsing of corrupted playlist files. Malicious corruption causes RealPlayer to call into a static heap address which can be leveraged by an attacker resulting in arbitrary code execution under the context of the logged in user.
