Symantec researchers issued a warning about active attacks in the wild on a RealPlayer ActiveX control vulnerability. The problem affects RealPlayer 11.
“So far impacted sites have ranged from forums, to webmail, to news agencies,” Symantec said in its Security Response blog.
Security researcher Elazar Broad, who discovered the vulnerability, said it could allow an attacker to execute code and gain access to a victim’s machine. Broad posted a RealPlayer workaround until a patch is issued.
