Descriptions
The Cook codec in RealNetworks RealPlayer before 15.0.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted channel data.
El Cook codec en RealNetworks RealPlayer anterior a v15.0.0 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de canal de datos a mano.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of RealNetworks Real Player. 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 how the application parses information out of the codec-specific data located within a media description header. When making space for audio-sample data, the application will allocate a static size. When decoding sample data into this buffer, an overflow will occur which can lead to memory corruption that can lead to code execution under the context of the application.
