Descriptions
The OpenURLInDefaultBrowser method in RealNetworks RealPlayer 11.0 through 11.1 and 14.0.0 through 14.0.2, and RealPlayer SP 1.0 through 1.1.5, launches a default handler for the filename specified in the first argument, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .rnx filename corresponding to a crafted RNX file.
El método OpenURLInDefaultBrowser en RealNetworks RealPlayer v11.0 hasta v11.1 y v14.0.0 hasta v14.0.2, y RealPlayer SP v1.0 hasta v1.1.5, inicia un controlador por defecto para un archivo específico en el primer argumento, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección a través de un archivo .rnx correspondiente a un archivo manipulado RNX.
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.
