Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in RealOne Player for Unix/Linux allowing malicious users to escalate their privileges.
The problem is that the configuration files are writeable for any member of the users group. This could potentially be exploited to escalate privileges.
Solution:
Change the file permissions for all files in ".realnetworks" so the files are only writeable for the owner.
