Multiple vulnerabilities were identified in RealPlayer and RealOne Player, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

The first issue is due to a stack overflow error when processing a malformed data packet contained in a Real Media file, which could be exploited by remote attackers to compromise a vulnerable system by convincing a user to visit a malicious Web page hosting a specially crafted ".rm" file.

The second vulnerability is due to a heap overflow error in the "DUNZIP32.DLL" library that does not properly handle a malformed RealPlayer skin file, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands by tricking a user into visiting a malicious Web page hosting a specially crafted ".rjs" file.

The third flaw is due to an unspecified stack overflow error when processing malicious skin files, which could be exploited by remote attackers to compromise a vulnerable system.
