This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in RealPlayer. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the affected application.
RealPlayer is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input. Attackers may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions. RealPlayer 11.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
