Security problems in media players

Vulnerabilities in the Winamp and RealPlayer media players reportedly allow malicious code to be injected and executed on Windows PCs via specially crafted media files. Simply accessing a compromised web page could, under certain circumstances, be enough to fall victim to an attack.

RealPlayer contains a total of seven holes across its various versions. Updating to versions SP 1.1.5, 4.0 Beta, RealPlayer Enterprise 2.1.3, Mac RealPlayer 11.0 - 12.0 or Linux RealPlayer 11.0.2.174 addresses the problems.
