THE PROBLEM

The Ussr Labs team has recently discovered a memory problem in the

The Exploit: It will take down the RealServer causing it to stop all
streaming media brodcasts, making it non-functional, (untill Reboot)

Vendor Status:
Uninformed of this security issue for the reason of previous reports
of Real Networks user privacy invasion.

Now comes to my mind this two pages:
