Description

Heap-based buffer overflow in rtffplin.cpp in RealPlayer 10.5 6.0.12.1056 on Windows, and 10, 10.0.1.436, and other versions before 10.0.5 on Linux, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a RealMedia file with a long RealText string, such as an SMIL file.

Solution(s)

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
