Real Networks Helix Server DESCRIBE Request Remote Heap Overflow Vulnerability

Real Networks Helix Server is prone to a heap-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform sufficient boundary checks on user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

An attacker could leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code with superuser privileges. Successful exploits will result in a complete computer compromise. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.

This issue affects version 11.1.2.
