Descriptions

RealNetworks RealPlayer 11.x, 14.x, and 15.x before 15.02.71, and RealPlayer SP 1.0 through 1.1.5, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a VIDOBJ_START_CODE code in a header within a video stream.

RealNetworks RealPlayer v11.x, v14.x, v15.x, y anterior a v15.02.71, y RealPlayer SP v1.0 a v1.1.5, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de vectores relacionados con un código de VIDOBJ_START_CODE en un encabezado dentro de una secuencia de vídeo.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of RealNetworks RealPlayer. User interaction is required in that a target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The flaw exists within dmp4.dll, specifically the decoding of an MPEG stream. When encountering a VIDOBJ_START_CODE object the process inproperly validates the size of the destination buffer used for rendering. The contents of a decoded frame are copied to this region which can result in heap corruption if the decoded frame size exceeds the size of this region. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the process.
