Official Description
RealOne player 6.0.11.868 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary script in the "My Computer" zone via a Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) presentation with a "file:javascript:" URL, which is executed in the security context of the previously loaded URL, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0726.
