APP: RealPlayer SMIL File Handling Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the RealNetworks RealPlayer media application. Attackers can create a malformed Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) file that, when downloaded by a user, is processed without user intervention. Attackers can execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the target user.
Extended Description
RealNetworks RealPlayer and RealOne Player are reported prone to a remote stack based buffer overflow vulnerability. The issue exists due to a lack of boundary checks performed by the application when parsing Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) files. A remote attacker may execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable computer to gain unauthorized access. This vulnerability is reported to exist in RealNetworks products for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Apple Mac platforms.
