Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: RealPlayer security update

Notes

Topic
RealPlayer 10.0.9 as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Extras, 4 Extras, and 5 Supplementary, contains a security flaw and should not be used. This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. [Updated 17 September 2008] We have updated this erratum to include packages which remove RealPlayer from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Extras, 4 Extras and 5 Supplementary.
Details
RealPlayer is a media player that provides media playback locally and via streaming. RealPlayer 10.0.9 is vulnerable to a critical security flaw and should no longer be used. A remote attacker could leverage this flaw to execute arbitrary code as the user running RealPlayer. (CVE-2007-5400) This issue is addressed in RealPlayer 11. Red Hat is unable to ship RealPlayer 11 due to additional proprietary codecs included in that version. Therefore, users who wish to continue to use RealPlayer should get an update directly from www.real.com. This update removes the RealPlayer 10.0.9 packages due to their known security vulnerabilities.
