This host is installed with RealPlayer and is prone to buffer overflow vulnerability.

Successful exploitation will allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the system. Impact Level: System/Application

No solution or patch was made available for at least one year since disclosure of this vulnerability. Likely none will be provided anymore. General solution options are to upgrade to a newer release, disable respective features, remove the product or replace the product by another one.

The 'Watch Folders' function fails to process an overly long directory path, which can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflow via a crafted ZIP file.

RealPlayer version 15.0.5.109
