Description:
RealNetworks has reported a vulnerability in RealOne Player, which can be exploited by malicious people to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the handling of SMIL files. This can be exploited to execute script code in the context of an arbitrary domain or the local system by constructing a specially crafted SMIL file and tricking a user into executing it.
The vulnerability has been reported to affect the following versions:
* RealOne Player (English only)
* RealOne Player v2 for Windows (all language versions)
* RealOne Enterprise Desktop (all versions, standalone and as configured by the RealOne Desktop Manager)
Arman Nayyeri has reported a variant of the vulnerability, allowing malicious SMIL files to bypass the original patch by prefixing the "javascript:" URI handler with a "file:" URI handler. This has been reported to affect RealOne Player version 1 and 2; other products may also be affected.
Solution:
NOTE: The update below does not fix the variant. Do not open SMIL files from untrusted sources.
Updates for RealOne Player can be installed by using the "Check for Update" feature.
