Real Player Flaw

Quote:
I have never been a fan of RealPlayer, but I am sure there are plenty of you who use it. RealNetworks has released a patch for their player that fixes an exploit that allowed someone to gain control of your system.

RealNetworks has issued a patch for a security flaw in one of its plug-ins that could let an attacker gain control of computers running any of several versions of the company's popular media player software.

And for any of you who are actually using it, check out the realplayer alternative: http://home.hccnet.nl/h.edskes/mirror.htm
