Description

RealPlayer versions up to 11.0.1 (build 6.0.14.794) have a vulnerability in the rmoc3260.dll ActiveX control which can lead to remote code execution.

The RealAudioObjects.RealAudio ActiveX control in rmoc3260.dll 6.0.10.45 in RealNetworks RealPlayer 11.0.1 build 6.0.14.794 does not properly manage memory for the Console property, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (browser crash) via a series of assignments of long string values, which triggers an overwrite of freed heap memory. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
