Descriptions

Use-after-free vulnerability in RealNetworks RealPlayer 11.0 through 11.1, RealPlayer SP 1.0 through 1.0.1, Mac RealPlayer 11.0 through 11.1, Linux RealPlayer 11.0.2.1744, and possibly HelixPlayer 1.0.6 and other versions, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via a crafted StreamTitle tag in an ICY SHOUTcast stream, related to the SMIL file format.

Vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación en RealNetworks RealPlayer v11.0 hasta v11.1, RealPlayer SP v1.0 hasta v1.0.1, Mac RealPlayer v11.0 hasta v11.1, and Linux RealPlayer v11.0.2.1744, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección o provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción del montón de memoria) a través de una etiqueta StreamTitle en una corriente ICY SHOUTcast, relacionada con el formato de archivo SMIL.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerability installations of RealNetworks RealPlayer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must open a malicious SHOUTcast Stream.
The specific flaw exists in the processing of the StreamTitle tag in a SHOUTcast stream using the ICY protocol. A specially crafted string supplied as the property for the title can result in a failed allocation of heap memory. This then causes the freeing of critical pointers that are subsequently used after freeing. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to system compromise under the credentials of the currently logged in user.
