Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in
version 16.0.3.51 and 16.0.2.32 of RealNetworks RealPlayer, caused by
improper bounds checking of the version and encoding attributes inside
the XML declaration.

By persuading the victim to open a specially-crafted .RMP file, a
remote attacker could execute arbitrary code on the system or cause
the application to crash.
