For anyone using Realplayer a serious security flaw has been found that lies in a browser helper object, software that RealPlayer uses to help users who are experiencing technical difficulties the flaw can be exploited if a user visits a maliciously coded web page the player does not have to be in use. Once the exploit is run on the victim's machine, the attacker can download and install whatever software he wants. A patch can be downloaded here: http://service.real.com/realplayer/security/191007_player/en/
Thanks, Gary.
More thanks from me too, Gary.
winamp tbh :laugh:
I don't use RP if I can possibly avoid it, but thanks for the update Gary. :)
I try and avoid it as well but some BBC content like the BBC radio player uses it, and real alternative can be a pain. You have to go through the privacy settings in real player with a fine toothed comb as well. >:D
