RealPlayer fixed
2010/01/26
Experts urge users to apply a new security update for the media-playing software.
RealNetworks' update fixes 11 vulnerabilities in RealPlayer, and was issued for Windows, Mac and Linux versions of the product. The company said in its advisory that it has received "no reports of any machines actually being compromised as a result of the now-remedied vulnerabilities."
Although RealPlayer has lost market share recently to rivals such as Windows Media Player and iTunes, it is still widely used and has been exploited in past cyberattacks.
