Heap-based buffer overflow in RealNetworks RealPlayer before 17.0.4.61 on Windows, and Mac RealPlayer before 12.0.1.1738, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string in the TRACKID element of an RMP file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-7260.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a client-side code execution flaw in older RealPlayer versions. A malicious RMP media metadata file with an overlong TRACKID value can trigger a heap buffer overflow. If legacy RealPlayer is still installed, an attacker could potentially run code when the file is processed. Exposure is most likely on endpoints retaining legacy RealPlayer installations below the fixed Windows or Mac versions. Servers and systems without RealPlayer are not indicated as affected by the provided sources. Prioritize remediation where RealPlayer remains on user workstations, especially environments that process media files from external sources. This is legacy software risk, but arbitrary code execution makes remaining exposure worth closing promptly. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Windows RealPlayer to 17.0.4.61 or later.; Upgrade Mac RealPlayer to 12.0.1.1738 or later.; Remove RealPlayer where it has no business requirement..
