RealNetworks have released patches to fix two recently reported vulnerabilities
in some versions of the RealPlayer, RealOne, and Helix Player software for Windows,
Mac and Linux. The vulnerabilities are due to potential memory overflows in the
handling of RealPlayer skin files (.rjs) and Real Media files (.rm). It has been
reported that the overflows can be exploited for arbritrary code execution.
