Realnetworks · Realplayer · CVE-2005-2629
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
RealPlayer versions 8, 10, 10.5
RealOne Player versions 1, 2
Helix Player version 10.0.0
**Description**
The issue is caused by an integer overflow that leads to a stack-based buffer overflow, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. This can be achieved via an .rm movie file with a large value in the length field of the first data packet.
**Recommendations**
For RealPlayer versions 8, 10, 10.5, update to a version that fixes the integer overflow issue.
For RealOne Player versions 1, 2, update to a version that fixes the integer overflow issue.
For Helix Player version 10.0.0, update to a version that fixes the integer overflow issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of .rm movie files with large values in the length field of the first data packet until a patch is available.
