Execution Vulnerability
http://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-12-084
June 6, 2012
CVE-2012-0926
9, AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:C
RealNetworks
RealNetworks RealPlayer
The flaw exists within the RV10 encoded data in the rv10.dll component.
When encountering an invalid encoded height or width field the process
miscalculates an offset while preparing to decode the data packets which
constitute the stream. The process attempts to store data at this location.
A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code
under the context of the process.
RealNetworks has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More
