-- Vulnerability Details:
This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on
vulnerable installations of RealNetworks RealPlayer. User interaction is
required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a
malicious page or open a malicious file.

The specific flaw exists within the smlrender.dll library responsible
for parsing SMIL files. A lack of proper string length checks can result
in the overflow of a static heap buffer. Exploitation of this overflow
can lead to arbitrary code execution under the context of the user
running the process.
