Buffer overflow in RealNetworks RealPlayer 10.5 6.0.12.1040 through 6.0.12.1348, RealPlayer 10, RealOne Player v2, RealOne Player v1, RealPlayer 8, and RealPlayer Enterprise before 20060322 allows remote attackers to have an unknown impact via a malicious Mimio boardCast (mbc) file.

According to its build number, the installed version of RealPlayer / RealOne Player / RealPlayer Enterprise on the remote Windows host suffers from one or more buffer overflows involving maliciously- crafted SWF and MBC files as well as web pages.  In addition, it also may be affected by a local privilege escalation issue.

The installed version of RealPlayer on the remote host is prone to buffer overflow vulnerabilities.  An attacker may be able to leverage these issues to execute arbitrary code on the remote host subject to the permissions of the user running the affected application.  Note that a user doesn't necessarily need to explicitly access a malicious media file since the browser may automatically pass the file to the RealPlayer application. 

According to its banner, the version of iTunes for Windows on the remote host launches a helper application by searching for it through various system paths.  An attacker with local access can leverage this issue to place a malicious program in a system path and have it called before the helper application.

The installed version of RealPlayer / RealOne Player / RealPlayer Enterprise for Windows on the remote host is prone to buffer overflow and heap overflow vulnerabilities.  An attacker may be able to leverage these issues to execute arbitrary code on the remote host subject to the permissions of the user running the affected application.  Note that a user doesn't necessarily need to explicitly access a malicious media file since the browser may automatically pass RealPlayer skin files (ie, files with the extension '.rjs') to the application.
