Descriptions

The ATRAC codec in RealNetworks RealPlayer 11.x and 14.x through 14.0.7, RealPlayer SP 1.0 through 1.1.5, and Mac RealPlayer 12.x before 12.0.0.1703 does not properly decode samples, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ATRAC audio file.

El codec ATRAC en RealNetworks RealPlayer v11.x y v14.x a través de v14.0.7, v1.0 a través de RealPlayer SP 1.1.5 y Mac RealPlayer 12.x anterior a v12.0.0.1703 no descodifica correctamente las muestras, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un archivo de audio ATRAC diseñado.

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 when the application attempts to decode an audio sample that is encoded with the ATRAC codec. While parsing sample data, the application will explicitly trust 2-bits as a loop counter which can be used to write outside the bounds of the target buffer. This can lead to code execution under the context of the application.
