Summary

Red Hat Security Advisory: RealPlayer security update

Severity

Critical

Notes

Topic: RealPlayer 10.0.9 as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Extras, 4 Extras, and 5 Supplementary, contains a security flaw and should not be used. This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. [Updated 17 September 2008] We have updated this erratum to include packages which remove RealPlayer from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Extras, 4 Extras and 5 Supplementary.

Details: RealPlayer is a media player that provides media playback locally and via streaming. RealPlayer 10.0.9 is vulnerable to a critical security flaw and should no longer be used. A remote attacker could leverage this flaw to execute arbitrary code as the user running RealPlayer. (CVE-2007-5400) This issue is addressed in RealPlayer 11. Red Hat is unable to ship RealPlayer 11 due to additional proprietary codecs included in that version. Therefore, users who wish to continue to use RealPlayer should get an update directly from www.real.com. This update removes the RealPlayer 10.0.9 packages due to their known security vulnerabilities.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.

Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
