CVE-2006-6759

CVSS v2.0

5.0

Medium

VectorAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: RealPlayer version 10.5
Description: The issue is related to a certain ActiveX control in the rpau3260.dll file, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an Internet Explorer crash. This can be achieved by invoking the RealPlayer.Initialize method with certain arguments.
Recommendations: For RealPlayer version 10.5, consider avoiding the invocation of the RealPlayer.Initialize method with potentially malicious arguments until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restricting the use of the ActiveX control in rpau3260.dll may help minimize the risk of exploitation.
