RHSA-2005:299
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2005-03-21 18:32 - Updated: 2025-11-21 17:28Stack-based buffer overflow in the RT3 plugin, as used in RealPlayer 8, RealOne Player, RealOne Player 10 beta, and RealOne Player Enterprise, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed .R3T file.
Buffer overflow in Real Networks RealPlayer 10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a URL with a large number of "." (period) characters.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the HandleAction function in RealPlayer 10.5 (6.0.12.1040) and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long ShowPreferences argument.
Off-by-one buffer overflow in the processing of tags in Real Metadata Package (RMP) files in RealPlayer 10.5 (6.0.12.1040) and earlier could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long tag.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the CSmil1Parser::testAttributeFailed function in smlparse.cpp for RealNetworks RealPlayer 10.5 (6.0.12.1056 and earlier), 10, 8, and RealOne Player V2 and V1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .SMIL file with a large system-screen-size value.
Heap-based buffer overflow in RealNetworks RealPlayer 10.5 (6.0.12.1056 and earlier), 10, 8, and RealOne Player V2 and V1, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via .WAV files.
