ZDI-07-061: RealNetworks RealPlayer SWF Processing Remote Code Execution Vulnerability http://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-07-061.html
October 25, 2007
- -- CVE ID:
CVE-2007-2263
- -- Affected Vendor:
RealNetworks
- -- Affected Products:
RealNetworks RealPlayer version 10.5
- -- TippingPoint(TM) IPS Customer Protection:
TippingPoint IPS customers have been protected against this vulnerability since February 15, 2007 by Digital Vaccine protection filter ID 5070,5071,5072. For further product information on the TippingPoint IPS:

- -- Vulnerability Details:
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on systems with vulnerable installations of the RealNetworks RealPlayer.
User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists in RealPlayer's parsing of SWF files. The SWF rendering DLL RealPlayer uses fails to properly handle malformed record headers leading to an exploitable overflow. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using an ActiveX control {CFCDAA03-8BE4-11cf-B84B-0020AFBBCCFA} and embedding the malicious swf file in the page or by convincing an affected user to directly open a SWF file using RealPlayer.
- -- Vendor Response:
RealNetworks has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More details can be found at:

- -- Disclosure Timeline:
2007.01.17 - Vulnerability reported to vendor
2007.02.15 - Digital Vaccine released to TippingPoint customers
2007.10.25 - Coordinated public release of advisory

ZDI-07-062: RealNetworks RealPlayer PLS File Memory Corruption Vulnerability http://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-07-062.html
October 25, 2007
- -- CVE ID:
CVE-2007-4599
- -- Affected Vendor:
RealNetworks
- -- Affected Products:
RealNetworks RealPlayer version 10.5
- -- TippingPoint(TM) IPS Customer Protection:
TippingPoint IPS customers have been protected against this vulnerability since April 26, 2007 by Digital Vaccine protection filter ID 5212. For further product information on the TippingPoint IPS:
http://www.tippingpoint.com
- -- Vulnerability Details:
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute code on vulnerable installations of RealPlayer. User interaction is required in that a user must open a malicious .pls file or visit a malicious web site.
The specific flaw exists during the parsing of corrupted playlist files. Malicious corruption causes RealPlayer to call into a static heap address which can be leveraged by an attacker resulting in arbitrary code execution under the context of the logged in user.
- -- Vendor Response:
RealNetworks has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More details can be found at:
http://service.real.com/realplayer/security/10252007_player/en/
- -- Disclosure Timeline:
