Descriptions
RealNetworks RealPlayer 11.0 through 11.1 and 14.0.0 through 14.0.5, RealPlayer SP 1.0 through 1.1.5, RealPlayer Enterprise 2.0 through 2.1.5, and Mac RealPlayer 12.0.0.1569 do not properly handle DEFINEFONT fields in SWF files, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via a crafted file.
RealNetworks RealPlayer v11.0 a v11.1 y v14.0.0 a v14.0.5, RealPlayer SP v1.0 a v1.1.5, RealPlayer Enterprise v2.0 a v2.1.5 y Mac RealPlayer v12.0.0.1569 no gestionan adecuadamente los campos DEFINEFONT en los archivos SWF, lo que permite ejecutar código arbitrario o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria heap) a atacantes remotos a través de un archivo debidamente modificado.
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 way RealPlayer handles DEFINEFONT fields in Flash Files. When the process parses corrupt a ShapeRecord with the DefineFont record it reads outside a stack buffer and uses a random stack value as a heap pointer. Later this pointer will be used to write data into. The resulting corruption can lead to remote code execution under the context of the current user.
