HTTP: RealPlayer SWF Frame Handling Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in RealNetworks RealPlayer. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the user.
Extended Description
RealNetworks RealPlayer is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. RealPlayer 10.5 Build 6.0.12.1483 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
