The company says the patch address a security vulnerability that could allow attackers to run unauthorized applications on users' computers. Affecting Windows, Mac and Linux platforms, the bug could allow an attacker to create a malicious RealMedia file to cause a heap overflow, which in turn could allow the execution of arbitrary code on a customer's machine. The company says it affects Mac RealPlayer 10 as well as well as the older Mac RealOne Player. RealNetworks recommends users upgrade to the latest version to resolve the security risk, posting a new version for download. [free registration required to download]
