Discussion
Real Networks RealPlayer CVE-2011-2951 Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Real Networks RealPlayer is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the software fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data.
Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the vulnerable application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
Versions prior to RealPlayer 14.0.6 for Windows and RealPlayer 12.0.0.1701 for Mac are vulnerable.
NOTE: This issue was previously discussed in BID 49169 (Real Networks RealPlayer Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it.
