Heap-based buffer overflow in vidplin.dll in RealNetworks RealPlayer 11.0 through 11.1 and 14.0.x before 14.0.2, and RealPlayer SP 1.0 through 1.1.5, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted header in an AVI file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-4393 is a RealPlayer flaw where a malicious AVI video file can corrupt memory and potentially run attacker-controlled code. Business risk is mainly for endpoints that still have affected legacy RealPlayer versions installed and open untrusted media files. Exposure is likely limited to legacy desktops or gold images retaining vulnerable RealPlayer installations. Servers are unlikely to be exposed unless RealPlayer is installed and used to process untrusted AVI content. Prioritize remediation where RealPlayer remains installed on user workstations. The issue is old, but arbitrary code execution through media files is still material if legacy software persists. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected RealPlayer installations to 14.0.2 or later where applicable.; Remove RealPlayer from systems that do not have a current business need.; Restrict opening untrusted AVI files on vulnerable endpoints until remediated..
