Background ========== RealPlayer is a multimedia player capable of handling multiple multimedia file formats. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-video/realplayer < 10.0.9 >= 10.0.9 Description =========== A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been reported in the SmilTimeValue::parseWallClockValue() function in smlprstime.cpp when handling HH:mm:ss.f type time formats.
