FFmpeg before 0.5.4, as used in MPlayer and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed RealMedia file.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
