CVSS v3.1
Official Description
RealNetworks RealPlayer 11.0 through 11.1 and RealPlayer SP 1.0 through 1.1.4 on Windows do not properly handle dimensions during YUV420 transformations, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted MP4 content.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2010-0117 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
