APP: RealNetworks RealPlayer SMIL Wallclock Stack Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in RealNetworks RealPlayer. A successful attack could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the targeted system. Failed exploit attempts could result in a denial of service condition.
Extended Description
RealPlayer and HelixPlayer are prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the applications fail to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer. Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
